I also went to the police department and told them my sibling is keeping my mom away from relatives, friends, & church members. My sister can keep abusing my mom without intervention because I don't have money for a lawyer. This is so wrong. Why isn't the system working?
We really need more info on your Mom. Her age. Why is she living with ur Sister and does Sister have POA. Your other post talks about Mom driving and you being able to intervene. So you see your Mom?

This definition of "Involuntary exclusion" is a little confusing so hoping another member can clarify. What I found is its really "Social exclusion" which makes it better to understand. From what I get from the definition is Mom is choosing not to see people. The example given is the sidewalk. The homeless and the rich both have access to it but the rich don't choose to sleep on it. Meaning your Mom has been given choices but does not want to take them.
Whether you can afford an attorney or not, you can file a petition for a change of custody in court on your own motion, even in handwriting. You can also go to legal aid, request frequent wellness checks from law enforcement, file new complaints with APS or all of the above simultaneously. Your objective is to cause enough trouble to not make continuous obstruction worth the caregiver’s while. If you are not willing to take dramatic, aggressive measures, including filing a criminal complaint with the state attorney if necessary, the caregiver will go on denying you access. You apparently have nothing to lose by declaring war on the perp. The perp has something to gain by excluding you. What is it? Why? What have you done to contribute to the current impasse? A little soul searching might bespeak the need to apologize for past actions or clear the air, but it seems the situation is beyond that point now.
If you are unable to use funds for a lawyer because you are paying other bills and your funds are presently being dedicated to those reasons, you have to decide what you need to pay off first and what debts you must prioritize.
”…abusing my mom without intervention…” is a powerful statement. Do you have a way of supporting your statement that your mother is abused by your sister’s decision making?
Is there ANYONE able to act as an intermediary between you and your sister? Did the rift between you exist before your mother became dependent on care.
Part of this kind of tragedy is that there are always two sides to every story. Could you find a non-biased negotiator who could tease some mutual agreement from your painful situation?
