Yes, through a motion to the court in the jurisdiction of the child's residence. It will be up to the judge to determine if this would be in the best interest of the child.

Can your sister get custody of your child?

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.

Is a guardianship legal if biological parents were not served with petition for guardianship?

Guardianship is legal when the judge says it is. An attempt must be made to serve the biological parents but if service is not possible for whatever reason an argument can be made to the judge to grant guardianship without it.Additional: If the child was removed from the custody of the biological parents by court order due to some shortcoming or failing of the parents to 'nurture and protect' the child, and custody was awarded to a foster family, you would.should have been issued a court order to that effect. . . IF you could have been found. If the state Dept. of Children and Family Services (or whatever they call it in your state) initiated the petition for the safety of the child, you need not have been served with any formal legal papers prior to them taking this action.
