Gaining Custody of A Nephew
What is the proper way to gain custody of a 14 yr old nephew who is not being taken care of at home? Missing school, possibly doing drugs, drinking, being harrassed by Mother's boyfirend, etc. He has stayed with me, his blood related Aunt 4 years in a row during the whole summer and loves it here. I would like to know if I could possibly get an exparte order? I live in North Carolina and he lives in Ohio.

Because you live in another state, you would have to file for custody in Ohio.
