No, but they can kick you out by evicting you. So you should have some alternative place to live if they do.

If he gets in trouble what happens to me? Am I legally responsible for him now and if so is he suppose to be in my custody? They just had me sign him out and never explained anything to me

I am sorry, this is not a patent law question. Perhaps you thought the category was paRents instead of paTents.
Good luck in resolving your situation.

Who would "they" be when you state: "they said i have to go to court". Have your parents talk with "them"; calling an attorney would help. Good luck.

It’s not illegal to stay the night at anyone’s house. Five year olds have sleep overs. Since I know you know this, I also know there is more to this situation. Bottom line: before you turn 18, your mom has the right to make common sense rules like not sleeping with men. After you turn 18, she... View More

Do I need to do conservitership, at what time and for what reason since we are her natural parents?
answered on Sep 18, 2019
You do not need a conservatorship until the child turns 18. The conservatorship then will allow you to still continue to make all of their decisions for them as you care for them. The process takes 3 or 4 months so start early. Many places can provide you with help at that time; here in San... View More

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Social services should tell you why they took your children. You can contact them to find out. If they were concerned for the children's safety and removed them for that reason, unless they did not have a sufficient basis for the determination a lawsuit... View More

Until you are 18, your parents are responsible for you. If you move out, you could go to juvenile detention. They could also make trouble for your 19 year old boyfriend. Talk to a teacher, school counselor, family member, or other trusted adult about your home situation.
