Long story short is that my nephew (brothers kid) is currently with a non family member due to his mother being unable to care for him. My brother is unable to take him as he has not been able to get on his feet yet from getting out of prison, and he wants me to take custody of his son, because his mother is unable to hold down a job, collects welfare and steals to get by, only couch hops from boyfriend to boyfriend (each week is a new boyfriend) she is in and out of legal trouble including being arrested and spending jail time.
My brother is wanting to sign his parental rights to me, is there a way that is possible? so I have his half of the parental rights? does he have a say in who has custody even though they are not married and in different states? means they both have their parental rights?
the woman who currently has temporary guardianship of my nephew isn't blood related, her nor her boyfriend has a job (she babysits to make some money which most of the time doesn't even cover their utility bills) there is her, her boyfriend, her kid and my nephew there; which she doesn't even have enough money to take care of her her boyfriend and her kid let alone adding another one to the mix. but she is collecting welfare on my nephew as well.
We are wanting the best for my nephew and and out there is not the best option for him.
Any ideas are helpful. I have already turned in a petition for guardianship with the local court system in Nevada where the minor is, but I travel back and forth from Colorado to do all of it and my brother is in Texas so its hard for all of us to constantly go back and forth to just turn in paperwork with no idea or ways to go about things. luckily this trip I was out there to turn it in, was already being made for other reasons. Need plans set up because it is a 12+ hour drive for either of us to do anything, can't do it just because and on a whim.
