Re: older sister trying to get custody of younger sister
You would need to file formal guardianship papers within the county of Nevada in which you reside. You will have to show that it is in the best interest of the child (sister)to no longer reside with your mother.
Your case will be difficult to achieve. You will have to show that your mother is an unfit parent and have conclusive evidence to show why.
Additionally, as you are 18 years old, you are going to have to show that you are stable and fit enough to care for a child.
I would recommend that you consult with legal representation before pursuing this on your own.
If you would like to schedule a consultation with my office, contact me at the information below.
