What is the name of your state? CA
My sister passed away in Jan 2005. Her 6 yr old daughter has been living with me since Feb 2005. Enrolled in school, sports and adjusting very well.
I've been married 16 yrs, own my home and have 2 children (14 & 11).
A month ago my sister's other daughter (14) who was incarcerated was released and was placed in my home. The 6 yr old's father is being released from prision and he wants to raise his daughter. My sister was never married to this man, my niece does not know him. He has no home, no source of income. I have been taking care of this child financially & emotionally.
Can he just come in and take her?? He is being selfish and not thinking what is best for her. What are my options???
