My mother is suicidal, and has been for a long time. She is a Maniac Depressant, with Anxiety and ADD. She is on a list of medicines as long as my arm. She just tried to commit suicide again, this is the 2nd time this month. My sister is 10 and my mother has sole custody. Her father is an alcholic and a drug addict, he lives in another state. I want custody of my sister, but I don't have a lot of money. I live near her school, have a steady job, don't drink or do drugs. I rent a two bedroom duplex, so she would have her own room. I make enough money to support her and I, plus my mother gets Social Security Disability, so my sister collects a small check that would go toward taking care of her.
What are my rights? And would this be a very expensive undertaking? I have to know, she can't stay in the environment anylonger. My mother is a good mom, when she isn't trying to kill herself, but I believe that my sister needs a stabile home, and security.
Advise me please.
