I've revisited an old story and decided to rewrite it. (Oh, the terrible writing of 15-year-old me.)
My MC was born in America but has lived in the UK for over 10 years (she has a dual passport for simplicity) and her mother vanishes. She's left living with her step-father who is found to be abusive. The police remove her from his custody. Her only other relative is her uncle, on her mother's side, who lives in America. He goes to the UK and agrees to take her in.
I was just curious as to what the process would be for transferring my MC into his custody. The mother has already been missing for some time and is presumed dead at this point so it's likely the MC will be staying in America for some time. Would there be formal documentation from lawyers or just an informal "off you go" kind of thing? If formal documents are needed how long would this roughly take? I also assume she would have to be enrolled into a new school as well, seeing as she's under 18.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
