How do I (F28) go about getting full custody of my 14yo sister? She hasn’t been home since September last year and has no desire to return home as our mother and her father are in active addiction and have been since before she was even in womb. Her case manager has said all we need to do is write a breakdown of what’s happened and why she can’t stay there but what else can I do to ensure she doesn’t have to go back? Because I know our mother will not agree to her going as she gets round $300 from the government for her.
I went through the same at 14 leaving our mothers, but I thankfully had my father to go too. I know a lot would’ve changed in the last 14 years since I was 14 so any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! 💕
