Find answers to your legal question.

Hi my cousin has a friend who comes from a family where drugs play a very prominant role in their lives..she was living with her "grandfather" he is not a biological grandfather therefore he has no say in where she can live. My Aunt and Uncle would like to try and see about having my cousins friend live with them for a while.....How would they go about doing this and what steps would they need to take to do this legally and effectively..thanks in advance to anyone who replies to my question
