<prompt> Human: I posted in rlegaladvice and got minimal replies and directed here My half-sister lives in North Carolina with her grandparents. A recent falling-out between them due to rampant disobedience caused the grandparents to threatenconsider relinquishing custody of her to another relative. She chose me I live in WA and asked me if I could do it.Ive always been concerned with how shes been raised growing up and she and I have had a growing connection in the recent years and she seems to trust and respect me.Financially, Im stuck working a low-level job while I prepare for a two-year degree at college, and Im not absolutely certain how much more per month I would need to be making in order to be recognized by the state as a candidate for guardianshipcover extra expenses that she might contribute to my overall expenses.Would the state help me if I were to take her in? Would the courts deny me if I didnt make enough?Current income: 20,000 annually.  <response>: Even if money werent an issue Id stay away from this. She respects you now because you havent had to say no to her yet. And once you do shell start to disrespect you and eventually be rebellious. This will not turn out well, just dont do it
