    Default Older Sister Needs Custody Of Younger Sister

    My sister is 6 years old. I am 22 with a child of my own. I go to school for nursing, I work, and I am in the navy reserve until I graduate. My mother is 40 years old and has an undiagnosed mental illness, she refuses to get help because she says there is nothing wrong with her. She has a gambling problem and a drinking problem and at times does not come home. I currently live with her and pay most of the bills so that I can care for my sister financially and emotionally. There is a lot more that is too numerous to write. I am wondering if I have a valid case in Minnesota so that I can get custody of my sister.

    sorry, but you have no legal standing to get custody of your sister. where is the child's father in this? he has more rights to custody then you.

    Is there any chance your mother would cooperate with you?
