My wife and I obtained guardianship of her niece when I believe she was 15 or 16. Her biological mother was not providing a stable home and environment for her due to drug abuse. We were made aware the day of guardianship was awarded about making progress reports to the court. We however were never really told how to submit them so we completely forgot to submit them. She is now 18 and graduated from highschool. We recently received a message from our law firm that the court has set a hearing as to why we didn't submit reports to them . Our neice maintained good grades in school, never in trouble and we provided a stable home and healthcare for her. How much trouble are we looking a getting into by forgetting to submit progress reports. My wife and I have never been in any violation of the law and don't know what our options are. Please help
