I'm in the same situation with my 16 year old sister
i turn 18 in April and i plan on getting custody of her
As long as you can show that you have a well paying ligit job and are bringing in enough money to take care of her or him then you sould be able to.
Your probably going to have to get a lawyer. But in some cases you shouldn't need one because the court usually goes in favor of blood relatives.
You will be o.k.
As long as you do what you have to do for him/her everything will work out.

If you are 15 years old and pregnant by a 19 year old and your parents are divorced and your Dad has custody of you do you need your Mom to sign for you to get married in Arkansas?
Not really your mom has to have custody of you to sign for you to get married in another state. ...Yes. You are still under-age. If you have the baby, you can then be amancipated.
Do you need both parents consent to get married at 16 in Arkansas?
If both parents are still alive and both have custody, then you need consent from both of them. In the event that one is no longer alive or doesn't have custody, then you have to provide proof of that (a death certificate or a custody order). And just FYI if the 16-year-old is a male, they cannot marry without a court order approving/allowing it.
Can a parent legally get in trouble if 17 yr old daughter lives somewhere beisdes parents home?
Yes IF the 17 year old daughter is still under the parents custody. If they have been disowned, or have disowned their parents, or are under the legal custody of someone else, such as a grandparent or other person, then the biological parents cannot get in trouble, but if the daughter is still under their custody while living elsewhere, she is still in their control by the governments standards and they can still be in trouble.
Can you use the Family Medical Leave Act to care for your mother-in-law or sister-in-law?
No. They are not covered under the FMLA. But your actual parents would be, but never a sibling or a sibling-in-law.

Neither parent has custody and the mother lives with the grandparents. Can a father give up rights to a child if the mother doesn't?
Generally:First, custody depends on the parents' marital status. When two people have a child it is rare that neither parent has custody unless there is a court order to that effect. If the parents were never married the mother has custody in every state in the US. If the unmarried father of a child wants custody or visitation he must establish his paternity through DNA testing. If the parents are married then both have equal parental rights. If they are divorced there should be a custody order in place.In either case you need to consult with an attorney or a legal advocate at the court to determine if the father can give up his parental rights and obligations under your state laws.Generally:First, custody depends on the parents' marital status.
