QUESTION
What do I do so I can live with my aunt in another state?
Asked on Jun 23rd, 2015 on Child Custody - California
More details to this question:
I’m 12 and my mom is paralyzed recently. We live with my grandma. My mother is emotionally abusive and she tells me the reason why she makes me stay here is so she can mentally torture me. My aunt has the money to take care of me and she loves me. She lives in another state but my mom would never let me stay with her. She tells me if I even try to live with her, she’s reporting me a runaway.

Where is Dad?!? It seems that C.P.S. should intervene due to child abuse and place you in foster care preferably with your aunt. Alternatively, with your parents' consent, your aunt could be given informal guardianship or Court-created guardianship of you.

Your Aunt would need to file a Petition for Guardianship. An attorney should evaluate whether your mother can care for you. Perhaps social services would get involved.
