With the mothers Attorney against me? Is that not a conflict of interest?
Same answer. The attorney and the former judge will probably know and have worked with many of the other local attorneys. Not necessarily a conflict.
You should have your own attorney and then you won't have to worry about who is representing the other party.
Also, can the Assistant District Attorney be a friend with the mothers Attorney, and has also worked with the mothers Attorney?
An attorney who has been around for a while usually knows the other local attorneys who practice in the same area of the law.

"Can my Guardian force me to quit my job in Oklahoma?"
Of course she can. It can be described as pretty much this simple: Parents/legal guardians make the rules, children follow those rules.
Only if you allow it to happen.

Let say a 17 year old girl runaway from home cause her home is toxic and she can’t handle everyone around making her feel like the bad guy and that the girl has mental health issues that are being neglected or ignored

What can I do to get him released from hold or speedup the process or to help him at all
Best thing you can do is help him hire the best criminal defense attorney you can find.
Without an attorney. What paperwork do I need to file specifically.
Best place to start is schedule schedule consultations with an attorney in your area. The attorney will review your case and explain your options. If the other party is found guilty of indirect civil contempt they can be ordered to pay your attorney fees.
My brother is the mediator. We were court ordered to go through third party visitation. Can he quit? His name isnt on any paperwork and we never signed any agreements.
Did the court approve your brother to serve as mediator? Mediators usually have formal training so not sure how that is possible unless what you mean is he is a visitation supervisor.
Either way, sounds like you are in desperate need of an attorney.
