If you are raising your nephew and the mother signed away rights and the father has abandoned the child how hard is it to obtain custody?

In such cases the court prefers to award custody to the nearest relative who is deemed acceptable and willing to take the responsibility. The biological mother could not legally "sign away" her parental rights without using the proper court procedures. If that had been done then custodial rights would have been granted to the qualified person who petitioned for such or the court would have appointed a guardian. Therefore the issue is somewhat confused as to what legal grounds the persons now caring for the minor child might have concerning the procurement of custodial rights.
