WA state child custody laws, can child custody be granted to an outside 3rd party

My mom is taking me to court to get it so that i have to go by her rule and everything she says no matter what. I know someone that wants me in their name and will take custody of me, and i do not want to be under custody of my mother anymore, and i haven't for a while now. Whats the best chance of me getting to get out of my mothers custody?

You can file CHINS Petition and the information would be on your county's website under Juvenile court.

Also, the person who wants to take custody could file a nonparental custody petition if they can prove that your parents are not fit. Very difficult.
