QUESTION
How do I get full custody over my younger sister?
Asked on Aug 31st, 2020 on Family Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
My mother is an unfit parent and I can prove that in court but my sister has a dad that is recently out of jail which she never met. I’ve been told her dad is next in line to get her but she’s never met him and he has record of going back to drugs in the past, how do I beat him in court? I have a steady job, house, room for her, and anything she needs so I’m ready for her. I’ve been the one who’s been buying all her clothes and things for school as well and I don’t want her to be taken and given to a stranger(her dad) but she can’t stay with her mom

You would need to seek guardianship over your sister. With Mom and (a) Dad in the picture it could be a two-front battle, but if it is in the child's best interests, it could be accomplished. The Court would also likely look at your stability, which seems favorable based upon your information provided.
