Asked on Sep 29th, 2018 on Child Custody - Tennessee
More details to this question:
My niece lives with her mother in Vermont and my brother lives in New Hampshire but they both unfit to care for my niece and I wanted to know if I could get custody of her even though I live in Tennessee? The mother is unfit because she is always pawning my niece off on family members and friends so she can go out or just not take care of her. She thinks her cigarettes r more important then diapers for my niece. My brother already lost 2 children to the state and he is thinking with his bottom half more then he is thinking about what his daughter needs. He can barely take care of himself let alone his child. Please help figure out what I can do.

If the child lives in Vermont, and the neglect is taking place in Vermont, a court in Vermont would have to handle this case. If you post this same question, but put Vermont into the location it should get in front of the right attorney to answer.
