I have asked for advise on this before but it gets more complicated it seems, so here is the circumstance again - My 16 year old niece from Alberta has lived with my family in Ontario for over the past year as her mother is an alcoholically that refuses to get help and is very abusive to her daughter when she drinks. We have not been paid any money by either parent for her expenses at any time so far. I advised that we did not need to get guardianship as she is already 16 but now we are getting push back from the school to get legal papers to prove our legal rights. As well she has asked to emancipated from her mother ... so I guess we could apply for custody. Please help as we are always on edge about this issue.
