SADLY, most fishermen are afraid to touch the worm.

If the girl is 18, she's a legal adult and can make her own decisions. So, yes, she could move in with you, bring her baby and her mother cannot prevent her from doing so. 

You are to be sincerely commended for wanting to held the girl finish school. The mother is either caught in the thrall of ignorance or not very aware if she's encouraging the child to drop out. 

 

The reason I am asking for information, is because in Alabama the legal age to move from a parents home is 19, not the usual 18 as in most states. Im trying to find out if because my niece is a parent herself already, if that would make a difference in her not having to wait to be 19. I just hate that she would miss out on getting her diploma this close to the end.

Evidently, Alabama is one of only two states that have set the "age of majority" to 19 instead of 18. 

Still, I'd be inclined to send the girl a bust ticket. How far is she from her birthday?

It sounds like she'll have to duke it out with her mom for another few months. OTOH, if you talk to your sister and she agrees, there's no impediment. 

From your description, it comes to me as though your sister simply doesn't want to take care of the baby. If you're helping do what while you niece is in school, it would be hard for 'grandma' to object with any rational foundation.
