More details to this question:
A few years ago after my father passed away and my mother had taken my aunt to court so she could sign documents to make her a legal parent i believe. but i need to know how this works. I need to know what i can and can't do if she does or does not have joint custody of me.
If you are 18 you are entitled to see the court records. You can go to the county court of the county in which you live. You can get any court documents that have been filed, they are public documents. Your aunt wouldn't be a parent, but she could be a co-guardian, or have some responsiblity for you if something happened to your mom.
