Asked on Jul 23rd, 2013 on Child Custody - Arizona
More details to this question:
My mother and father are both addicts who live/stay in a motel. My father doesn't have a stable job and neither does my mother. In the past year, my sister has lived with my 17 year old sister while she finished the school year there. Well my sister recently lost her house so I'm now having to take care of my baby sister. School's coming up and I need to be able to get quick custody or some type of guardianship over her. What would be the best way to go about this without getting CPS involved?

If the mother and father will consent to a guardianship, it is really a matter of completing the paperwork and ensuring that all interested parties have notice. You would need to file a petition for guardianship in the Juvenile Court.
