Re: Aunt wants custody of Niece
You may be able to get custody, but you did not provide enough information to answer with any degree of certainty. Your best chances of getting custody of this child would be if (a) both parents consent or (b) you could prove both parents to be unfit.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
