Q: Can someone become a court appointed legal guardian over a married 19 year old? Im married, but my mother still threats.
My mother is an EXTREMELY controlling and woman. She has threatened me to take me to court to become my legal guardian (even though I was 18) over two single incidents rhat happened when I was 16. A hospitalization for Anorexia and issues with a phone. I have completely recovered from the eating disorder that year and still am healthy. I was forced for a long time to take medications that made me sick, that were not prescribed to me, that I was not allowed to manage as well as birth control without my permission or knowledge. As soon as I told someone about it and stopped them,she brings up becoming my legal guardian. She has tried numerous times to break me an my husband apart both before and after we got married as well as tell COMPLETELY fabricated things to both our families. Since I have spoke put about this she is really serious and wants to, she keeps threatening. I live far away and can not travle due to travle bans on military families. I am scared of her and what she wants
A: No, no one can become your legal guardian unless you are incapable of caring for yourself as deemed by a physician. Stop putting up with her. And your husband would have priority if you got a guardian anyway, not your mother. Age 18 and marriage, those ties are broken.
