Can I get custody of my niece and nephew?

Okay, so last year my sister lost custody of her kids because she was homeless. My sister did not tell me this for several weeks. I didn't know she was homeless, nor did I know that she lost custody of her kids. Since she lost custody, her husband's grandmother filed for custody. Since I did not know I wasn't able to file and fight her for them. My sister and her husband are trying to get their life back on track. Until then, I would like custody of the children. The great-grandmother doesn't make them brush their teeth, doesnt worry about their grades, sends them to school in dirty clothes, and uses them as a meal ticket. Can I apply for custody? I was trying to wait until I finished graduate school.
 
Yes, you're free to seek custody.
Good luck.
 
You can certainly try but you might not receive custody.
