My Dad Was Cremated , I Am 19 His Only Child My Parents Were Divorced When I Was 3 Years Old. Mom Is Alive. Dad's Sister Is Fighting For Rights To His Ashes. Can She Do This??

I think that you have every right to your Father's ashes as his child and heir.

What a horrible situation for you. I think that you need to get some advice from a solicitor. If you're not working you could perhaps get some legal aid.
You have every right to decide what to do here and I don't think that your aunt should be putting you through this.
Perhaps you need to think of confronting her and telling her as your father's next of kin you will be entitled to make all decisions on this matter. Here in the UK at 19 you would have full legal rights as his next of kin. I don't know about in US. Get some help from a solicitor and if necessary get a legal letter sent to your aunt. Very best of luck.

Your dad's sister has a right to fight for his ashes but not as much as your mother. If she were legally divorced, there may be a problem. But if she had just separated, she has the right to the ashes. It is good that you do not fight because you love your dad very much.

My deepest sympathies for you…
I wish that the love of your father's will be with you, and he will be watching your way. If you find him in his love, this will not be a problem to you. Try to find him in his love to you than from his ashes. If she fights for ashes, it's a big issue for her. If you are also going to fight, it will be a dishonor to the love. Are you with your mom, I think you better go to your mother.
