More details to this question:
My brother and girlfriend agreed to send their son, my 11 year old nephew, to live with me (aunt). My brother has been in and out of jail over the years. He is in jail now. The mom signed over temporary custody at that time to me. My nephew is now 16 year old. I have paid 100 percent of costs for him for the last five years. The mom is now threatening to go to lawyer and take him away from me.

You are a *de facto* father of your nephew and deserving of legal and physical custody rights. Please remember that these conflicts arise between biological parents, too.
