Best Answer

Any adult can petition a court for guardianship of a minor. The specific procedure differs somewhat in each state. Generally the court gives preference to relatives in such a matter but the final decision always rests with the judge. The procedure itself is not complicated and can usually be accomplished without the assistance of an attorney. However, if the action is contested by parents, family members, or persons with "just cause", retaining legal counsel would be advisable. Contact the clerk of the probate court in the county in which you live for specific information.

Since I'm only child I can tell you another story. My best friend has younger sister. And both of them don't really go well. :/ Older is 15 and younger is 9 or 10. But when both of them get older its most likely sisters would be best friends. ( By the way, being only child sometimes sucks!!! I wish I had older sister or brother.)

It is going to be very difficult , not only are the two sisters teenagers , and the eighteen year old may not have a good job to support both of them.

Yes. Technically 18 year olds are adults. A minor could not have custody of a younger sibling. But an adult can.
