Q: I am 16 and have decided I want to live with my god grandmother. How can she could get custody of me? My aunt has it now
My aunt doesn’t want to let me leave at the moment. However, leaving with my god grandmother will personally be better for me in terms of happiness and my mental health along with my emotional health. According to my mother my aunt has temporary custody as well. My god grandmother is willing to do what needs to be done so that I can live with her.
A:
There will have to be a modification in custody, and this is filed in court. It is unclear if your aunt has legal, temporary custody of you or if she was given temporary custody with your mother’s permission. For these reasons, it is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your circumstances and provide you with a more detailed response.
We wish you well.
