ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.


I don't know of any area that specifically allows aunts right. However, some places do take in account a bond between a child and an adult. The fact that your aunt may have bonded with your daughter and been a significant part of her life for 2 years MIGHT give her some rights. But given that your family thinks they are nuts and have cut off ties with them, I doubt if a court will award them any.

Without knowing where, it is a little hard to tell you,

But in general, no , they have no rights, they may try to claim them in court, but I don't see much chance of it
