My little brother, who is 15 in October, is living with our father. He has full custody. He is a good provider but, there is the issue of he moves around a lot due to his job. He is a crane operator. My little brother wants to live in one place so he can make friends in high school and so he does not have to stay in a motel as well. My father agrees with the idea with my little brother living with me. The issue is our mother is on drugs but has not been arrested or caught. She lives about an hour from me. We are worried she will try to show up at my house one day and take my little brother from me. She has only contacted him once in the past two years of him living with my father. I have not spoken to her in over a month, and I also have no clue exactly where she lives. We just fear her trying to remove him from my home. I have two jobs, and I am going to college. One job I work out of the home so I can spend time with my little brother. I have a roommate who helps pays bills. My father can easily help me financially if there is ever an issue. Is there any way we can have custody between my father and I or my father keep custody and him live with me and my mother not being able to take him away from us.
