Thank you for your inquiry. A relative could have grounds to file Motions with the Family Court tor emergency custody as well as a potential guardianship. While there is no set age where children can state where they want to live, the older a child the more weight a Judge will give to their opinion.

If you'd like to discuss your legal options in more detail feel free to contact me directly.
