An aunt can pass child custody to a grandmother through a legal process called guardianship or by modifying existing custody arrangements. This typically involves filing a petition in family court, where the aunt demonstrates that transferring custody is in the child's best interest. The grandmother may need to provide evidence of her ability to care for the child, and the court will consider the child's needs and preferences before making a decision. It's advisable to consult with a family law attorney to navigate the process effectively.
