You are a relative, and that makes you "closer" than the "friend" of your sister. But you still need the court to step in and make an order - unless you can get your sister to "sign something" and let you pick up the slack. Consult a professional. Advice is free or cheap, at least upon an initial consultation. And the stakes are high. You may be able to get child services to work for you, or at least in your favor, too, but be careful how you do that. Once they step in, they have their own mandates and agenda. Best of luck sorting this one out.

Is there any possibility of you getting primary custody of your ex-husband's nephew if you've both had legal custody of the child since he was 2 days old and the nephew's mother is in prison?

You will need a good lawyer for this and you will have to prove he's an unfit guardian or father. The courts favor leaving the child with their biological parents(s) if possible. If you're lawyer is good and knows some previous cases he may just have the courts lean in your favor. If your ex is good to his nephew then you don't stand a chance. Marcy
