Q: I’m 16 just curious what I do to have my grandma get custody of me?
does She need an attorney or can I go somewhere and just tell them I want to live with her
A:
A custody determination would have to be made under North Dakota Century Code 14-09. The court may heavily weigh the custody preference of a mature minor child. Your grandma would want to seek an attorney, but is not required. The other option would be to be for you to be emancipated as an adult.
