This might be quite an unusual and rare topic for this forum, but I'm posting on the off chance that someone here has had a similar experience or knowledge of this....
Due to extraneous circumstances, my sister-in-law is struggling to care for her daughter (my neice) and we have discussed the possibility of her signing over guardianship to me. My niece is 15 and has 2 more years left of school.
I would have the means to care for her, but of course, I live in the UK (I'm a dual US/UK citizen), and since my niece is a US citizen, I'm not sure if / how this would even work or where to even begin to find information on this.
Does anyone have any personal experience or knowledge how I could bring a child over as a legal guardian and have her live with me and attend school in the UK?
I know there are a LOT of things to consider, but I just want to start with the basics... how to legally get her here (if possible) is a start.
Thanks in advance for any help.
