You have to go to court and seek custody as well as guardianship.
Yes, if the guardianship was established for the protection of a minor, then it will expire upon the minors attaining the age of legal adulthood.
That would be completely up to the court. A person seeking guardianship must file a petition in the state court of jurisdiction (usually probate). The county clerk or court administrator can be contacted for information on the proper filing procedures. After the petition is filed there will be a hearing where all involved parties will be given the right to testify and present supporting evidence. The final decision on guardianship will be made by the presiding judge. All court costs and any other legal fees are the responsibility of the person filing for guardianship. If this is a case of neglect or abuse it should be referred to social services (DFS, CPS). If abuse and/or neglect charges are found valid the minor becomes a "ward of the court" and the judge will appoint a Guardian Ad Litem who will be the minor's legal representative. The court will then accept petitions from those persons applying for guardianship of the minor. Although family relatives are the first choice, any adult that the court finds acceptable can be granted temporary or permanent guardianship. In these type of cases the state assumes financial responsibility court costs and applicable legal fees.
To obtain legal guardianship of a 17-year-old in Kansas, you must file a petition with the local probate court, demonstrating that guardianship is in the best interest of the minor. You'll need to provide evidence of the minor's situation and your qualifications to serve as a guardian. The court may require a hearing where evidence is presented, and the minor may have a say in the proceedings. If the court approves your petition, it will issue a guardianship order.
A court appointment of a legal guardian extinguishes any power of attorney that was executed by the ward prior to the guardianship. Therefore a person with a legal guardian has been removed from their legal relationship with an attorney-in-fact and the power of attorney is no longer valid. The AIF should be notified of the guardianship and that they are no longer the AIF.
Legal guardianship can only be revoked by the court that awarded the decree or in some states a higher court or it can be relinquished by the guardian(s) through prescribed legal procedure. The rights that biological parents have regarding their children (such as visitation, support, etc.) will be stipulated in the final guardianship order from the court. Courts prefer that parents remain active in the child's life, but if there are no specific terms in the guardianship order for visitation rights and other issues, it is assumed that the guardians can "set the rules".
Yes, an adult guardianship can be challenged. Interested parties, such as family members or friends, may contest the guardianship by filing a petition in court, arguing that the individual does not meet the criteria for guardianship or that the appointed guardian is not acting in the best interest of the individual. The court will then review the evidence and determine whether to uphold or revoke the guardianship. Legal representation is often advisable in such cases to navigate the complexities of guardianship laws.
