Does someone in my family have the permission to become the legal guardian of my nephew?

My sister went to prison for domestic abuse against her boyfriend and the custody of my 4 year old nephew went to the father whom my nephew barely knows (he just got out of prison), we haven't had contact with the kid since then and he is possibly upset, we can't tell because the father doesn't let him communicate with anyone from our side of the family. Is there anything we can do to gain custody of him ASAP? He is closest with our side of the family and it would definitely be best for him to be with us. Thanks for any help!

    I would talk to a lawyer....obviously, but the odds aren't with you here.

    Unless he is being abused or mistreated in some way, you chances of convincing a judge that removing him from a biological parent who seeks custody and awarding custody to someone in your side of the family is nil to none.

    Only a Judge can decide that and that means going to court with a good lawyer etc......?
