    Default Older Sister Wants Custody Of Me

    i am 15 years old, i turn 16 in a couple months and my sister is 20. She wants custody of me but we both are trying to research on how this would work out.. my parents would not agree to this because of my mother. I wouldnt want to leave I like my father but my mother has anxiety issues and has put my siblings and i through so much emotional stress. We have never been physically abused but emotionally, yes. so i am completely brainless to the legal issues with this situation..can you help?

    Default Older Sister Seeking Custody

    There is nothing that would give your sister the right to initiate a custody proceeding, and unfortunately under Florida law you can't emancipate except upon the petition of a parent or guardian. Your best option appears to be to try to convince your parents to let you live with your older sister.

    the only way you can leave without your parents permission is by turning 18. your sister has no legal standing to get custody of you. so for the next two and half three years you stay with your parents, you have no choice.

    More like 6 to 7 months she'll be old enough to legally leave.
