When Does Guardianship Lapse in Jordanian Law? Grounds for Removal

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Is addiction alone enough to remove guardianship?

Yes if practically influential and documented (medical reports, testimonies, behavioral incidents with the child). Casual addiction successfully treated may not justify immediate removal but may restrict guardianship during treatment.

How long does a guardianship-removal case take?

Usually 6–18 months depending on complexity and evidence. It includes witness testimony, medical and psychological reports, social investigations, and sometimes police or prison records. The ruling is delayed due to legal sensitivity.

Can the father regain guardianship after removal?

Yes, subject to conditions: the cause has dissipated (recovery, release from prison, psychological stability), evidence of change is presented, and restoration is in the child's interest. Restoration is not automatic.
