There's not much of a question here, so I'm not sure what you are really looking for. How did you get custody? Sounds like it was a through a DYFS case. In family court, anything can happen. I really can't say if the aunt has a chance or not since I don't know much about how you got custody and how and why the aunt is trying to get custody and why she wasn't in the mix when custody was given to you. Feel free to call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss.
