Does anyone know the process you have to undergo to get permanent guardianship of a child in PA?

Question

I am hoping someone can help with this weird situation I am in.

I need to know what I need to do in order to be my brother's permanent legal guardian. I am in PA.

There was an incident on 7/7 and my mother was arrested for simple assault and harassment against my 15 year old brother. Due to this arrest, she is not to have any contact with him and I plan on having him live with me permanently.

I need to know what I need to do in order to be his legal guardian. I am in PA.

There is an open incident with children and youth that is currently under investigation.

Another thing is that she still has been receiving child support for him and he is not there. Does anyone know if there is anything that I can do so that money goes into an account for him?

I appreciate any guidance anyone can offer!

Thanks!!!!
