My younger sister is blind and autistic. She lives with our mother right now, but our mother's health is failing. What can we do for me to get guardianship of my sister? Is it a long and expensive process? I live in Nebraska, and my mother and sister live in Mansfield Mo.

Husband spent 24 hours in jail amd was released with a warrent given. Two weeks later he has a warrent, is this legal??

Yes. Both have the intent to commit assault on the other. So both could be charged with assault. Dueling either by sword or fist is not legal.
There was no abuse or anything in the relationship, she got upset at him and kicked him out and said he wasn’t allowed any contact with the child at all.
Yes she can. Visitation and custody does not determine child support though overnight stays do go into the calculation for the presumed amounts.
I am not certain what your question is exactly but yes they can send you a citation in the mail.
