My brother and his wife are divorcing. She took off and left the children at her sisters. My brother is too unstable to handle the situation. The sister is unemployed and pregnant, due in Jan.

Guardianship is an option, but you should talk to a lawyer about the differences of the two petitions and what you will need to establish to become the children's legal guardian.
