Petition Family court for custody, it's not really difficult to do. Go to your local family court ask them for the forms you need to gain custody also Child protective services can help you, if the court doesn't carry the forms. You will have to go before a judge at some point and explain why you want custody but its really a formality as long as you can provide a safe loving home for your brother.
By the way I think your a Hero for wanting to take care of your brother

When I filed for guardianship of my grandson, all I had to do was file a petition with the court. We showed up in court on the day appointed and explained why I wanted this and why my grandson would do well under my care, as opposed to the alternative and that was it. Your county Clerk can explain what you need to do. Good luck, I'm sure you won't have any problems.

nicely, the 1st component you're able to do is communicate on your nephew and notice if residing with you would be some thing he needed. If it is not, then you definately have not have been given a prayer of having guardianship of him at his age with out his consent. he's almost an person, and courts weigh the purposes of a newborn that old VERY heavily. on the different hand, if he does choose for to come again stay with you, it can be a possibility to easily do it informally, with out desiring to circulate to court docket in any respect, in the adventure that your sister will enable that. If she won't, then i'm afraid the final you're able to do is to spend as plenty time with him as you could, attempt to coach him greater helpful, and be the final occasion you're able to be. After he turns 18 it will be all as much as him.
