Can your mom legally receive guardianship of your 16-year-old girlfriend?
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.

Can a close friend be your legal guardian and what needs to be done if you go to court?
Individual states establish requirements that are necessary for an adult to become the legal guardian of a minor. Any adult can petition the court for guardianship but the decision as to whether or not said person is qualified will be made by the judge presiding over the case. In general a guardian must be of a responsible age (at least 21), have an established residence, a stable living environment, present proof of acceptable financial stability, and so on. In most cases the person petitioning for guardianship must pay all legal fees and court costs, the exception being a case of neglect or abuse where a guardian is appointed by the court. In the same venue that any adult can apply for guardianship of a minor, any "interested party" (parent, relative, counselor, etc,) can contest the guardianship action.
