Do you have legal guardianship, through the court? In what state do your live?

[dishsoap12]

yes i do have it through the court in michigan why can you give me some advise

[Mr. Knowitall]

If you have a full guardianship through the court, you are the decision-maker for your mother, although you are supposed to let her participate in those decisions to the best of her ability. You should be able to block any marriage or, if it happens anyway, seek an annulment based upon her incapacity. I can't give any practical suggestions as I don't know how she has access to this gentleman, or how she might try to go about getting married, but work with her doctors about providing a safe and appropriate living environment where she has an appropriate level of supervision.

how would i go about stoping her from getting married or claim the marriage isnt legal

[Mr. Knowitall]

Seek to have her reside in a setting where she has an appropriate level of supervision. Discuss the situation with the county clerk and see if there is a way to block her from getting a marriage license. If she does manage to get married, go to court for an annulment. Consult a local lawyer and see what suggestions the lawyer makes.
