I want to know if I have a case to live with my great aunt and have her become my guardian instead of my mom.
Hi ****! In Louisiana, changing guardianship from a parent to another relative, like your great aunt, involves a legal process. Here are some factors to consider:
- The court will evaluate if this change is in your best interest.
- Your great aunt must be willing and able to assume guardianship.
- Any history of neglect or abuse by your current guardian could influence the court's decision.
Do you have any specific concerns or reasons for wanting to change your guardian?

What is your main reason for wanting this change?
My mom is emotionally abusive, but I also moved in with her to get away from my abusive and neglectful father, who still has some custody over me even though i only have to live with my mom.

my parents got divorced in *, i live with my mom full time as she has full custody but my father still has legal rights. I have lived with her for 2 years, and her behavior has only gotten worse. My aunt has gone no-contact with the rest of the family also for 2 years and only talks to me, but she is very concerned for me since she also grew up in an emotionally abusive house
