    Trying to get custody of my great niece
    My niece is 21 yrs old and has a 4 yr old son and 1 yr old daughter. Her mother has custody of her son. I am wanting to get custody immediately for the baby but I am not sure how to go about or if I would be able to get it. She was relesed from prison in January and is on parole she has gone back to her old ways and is using meth and selling other drugs. She also skipped her court date and her monthly meeting with parole officer so she is also on the run. She is also running from some men she stole money from who are threatening her and family if she doesn't pay it back. I am geniunely concerned for the child's safety and I live in a different county. My brother which is the baby's grandfather brought her to me and I have her now I am currently unemployed but I receive unemployment until I find a job. I want to get custody as soon as possible can someone help me and tell me how do go about this.

    There are a lot of pronouns going on here but let me take a swing at it...

    Your sister has custody of your niece and you want to take it from her? Is this against her will? How does your niece feel about everything?

    Do you have the baby at the moment? Is anyone trying to get her from you? Have you spoken to ANYONE of legal status? (Court, CPS, etc)

    I am trying to get custody of my niece's daughter which makes the baby my great niece. Yes I have her now. Well the mother(my niece) knows I have her and I haven't heard from her she is druged out and not in her right mind. What do you mean spoken to anyone of legal status? How do I do that?As far as I know nothing has been done legally. The only person that might try to take her is the woman that they were staying with which is my niece's boyfriend's mother but he is not the father.Would she have any rights?
