Q: My sister lost custody of her children in Atlanta, how do I get custody of them in Another state(Chicago)?
My sisters case is located in Georgia and I dont want my nephews in the system and would love to bring them home to Chicago with the rest of the family. She moved to GA away from everyone and this resulted in her losing custody and they are now in foster care. We really want them home with us and have a very stable environment for them. However We do not live in GA. How does this work? How do we see them and bring them home? They are twin boys only 1 years old.
A: You need to contact an attorney in Georgia, since that seems to be where the case needs to be filed.
