You would have to petition the court to be appointed as his guardian. His age and other factors determine how easy or difficult to accomplish. Your parents may oppose your appointment as guardian as this will result in their having to pay child support. Check with the local bar association about free legal services. In some communities there are organizations that provide free legal services to children. He may qualify for such services, that is to petition the court to appoint you as his guardian.
