Your sister can request guardianship of your child through a petition to the family court. She would need to provide evidence that the guardianship would be in the best interest of the child and the parents are unfit. The court would appoint professionals to evaluate the situation and report back to the judge. The judge could approve the guardianship if there was clear evidence that the welfare of the child would be better served if the child was in the custody of your sister, rather than yourself. The father must consent or the court must rule over his rights also. The process would proceed quickly if the guardianship is voluntary and both parents consent.
