I live in San Jose, Ca. and I needed some advise on how about to get full custody of my little sister. She has been living with me since Aug. of this year because she was doing very bad in school where she was living at the time. She was living in Tracy on her own bouncing back and forth from house to house while my mom left her there because my little sister didn't want to leave her friends. So my mother left her there while she moved up towards Reno.
So anyways she wasn't going to school and it was getting to the point that she was going to get picked up by the police to be taken to school. So I told my mother that I would take her in and take care of her as long as she helped with her. So we agreed on this verbal. See that is where I messed up it was a verbal that she would help out.
My mother got me all the correct paper work so I can make dessions for my little sister but I don't have guardianship of her. Now my little sister has been living with my since Aug of this year and she is doing wonderful in school, but my mom or my sisters dad don't want to help.
What can I do I need them to help and this was something that was agreed apon verbally. I want to help my little sister out and I don't want her bouncing back and forth in between house's like she will do if I tell her to go live with my mom again. I want to get full custody of her and take my mom and her dad to court to help out with her. I think that this is only fair they created her so they should help. I was only charging them 400 a month so that would of been 200 each from them. I believe that was more then fair on my end.
Also keep in mind my sister dad has not been in her life for 16 years now and now he popped up cause we tracked him down. Someone please give me advise.
