Then obviously Christ had no siblings since leaving His mother in the care of someone not a family member would have been breaking Old Testament Law.

Where exactly is that requirement in the Old Testament that Jesus must assign responsibility for the care of his mother to his siblings and not to someone else?

Jewish custom and tradition held in the same regard as the law, hence Christ rebuking Pharisees for setting aside money for the Temple which obligated the Rabbis to take care of their parents rather than taking care of their own parents.

Honoring your parents, according to Jewish tradition, included caring for them when they were dependent the way they cared for you when you were dependent and not placing responsibility for them on anyone not their child.

Anyone who wants to find more details can easily find them and anyone who prefers their own preconceptions is free to wallow in those preconceptions. Mox Nix.
