If your sister died 5 years ago and now her 16-year-old daughter lives with her dad in Florida can she move in with you her aunt without her father's consent and will you get into trouble with police?

Answer 1

This question does not make sense to me. It says your sister passed awat 5 years ago, then it says she lives with her dad. Re ask and then maybe i can help you. I am assuming that you are the aunt and the query is in reference to your niece. The young lady is still a minor and therefore cannot arbitrarily move from the custodial parent's home to another residence, even if it is a relative. Her father would need to grant permission or the aunt would need to file for legal guardianship for the young lady to be able to change residences. The possibility of someone receiving guardianship over a biological parent is not viable unless there is substantial proof of neglect or physical/emotional abuse. Family issues can become complicated and emotionally distressful, the advice of legal counsel might be helpful. Most attorneys offer free consultations or at minimal fees.
