My question involves guardianship in the State of: Tennessee
So this for a story I'm writing. The MC and her sister have been left about six months ago by their parents. The MC is 17 and her sister 15. The MC has been hiding the fact their parents left them, and attempting to take care of her sister, which she has done to some success(paying the mortgage and water, but not the electricity, buying as much food as they can afford which is enough but could better). Eventually child welfare finds them, and obviously the MC wants to get custody of her sister once she turns 18 which she will be soon. My question is how likely would be? She has a job, and obviously would have to get an apartment. I'm guessing her hiding their situation for so long would be against her in the courts, in terms of maturity. She is also beginning to exhibit signs of the severe stress she has been under. My guess is if so, it wouldn't be for awhile until she had taken care of herself more.
Thanks!
