Asked on Jun 22nd, 2015 on Child Custody - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
My nephew has two boys, who are 10 and 2, were left homeless and without a guardian when he got arrested on multiple charges last month and sent to prison. I want to become their guardian after having them live with me. However, we have a problem because the boys are American citizens, but I am not. Am I able to despite my citizenship status? Is there anything I can do?

As long as you are a legal resident of the US, your status should be no obstacle. Where is the other parent, however? I gather you are seeking a guardianship of the nephews which certainly sounds like a good idea. Retain an experienced family law attorney to advise and represent you it's almost always worth the investment. Good Luck.
