What and are there legal rights of an aunt to gain custody of her neice from her grandmother? We live in Washington state.

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - almost 2 years ago.

this is really more of a third party custody or emancipation issue if the niece is now 15. Many variables as to the circumstances and a review of the court orders are the first step. If there is abuse or neglect then contact CPS.
