Not exactly sure what kind of custody I have but his mother gets supervised visitation (which she does not take) and pays child support. Dad gets no visits but is being sought after for child support. He will be 15 in December. I have had custody since April 2021.
The state has taken them away from him. The mother is unable to take care of them. They don't want to go live with the paternal grandparents, who live in another state. Is there anything that she can do? She has grown up before her age and wants to raise her siblings herself.
Can I send them to my sister in south Carolina if I get a letter of guardianship nortirise so they can't take them

If he never went to court to establish parental rights, he doesn't have any. If you want to be sure, or preempt his attempt to establish such rights, you file a private custody action in juvenile court seeking to terminate his rights.
