They went to jail in June for possession charges, released in end of July on probation and recently just violated it for failure of a drug test. Is the likelihood of them getting out there? Or will court order them to rehab or will they serve the rest of their time?

Most likely even if you do give her 100% custody, they will still require you to complete their regimen before you can have contact with the child. You probably should hire the best family court lawyer you can and deal with it head on once and for all rather than giving her custody and hoping it... View More 
He put the electric, security system, HD me cosign for his car, ran up my credit cards that I made him a user of, and has bread payments under my name too. I'm afraid he's going to not pay the bills and it'll come back on me. I have a daughter with him and I can't afford it.

First, you have to prove what they stole. If you can, you might be able to keep the land. If not, it’ll probably be divided equally in a divorce proceeding.

She most likely will not be charged but you should consider taking a juvenile complaint against the 17 yo to have the court order no contact with your daughter.
for false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, failure to intervene and excessive unreasonable bond. This is a gross miscarriage of justice that has ruined our business and life over the last 10 months and we need help.

We are out of a good chunk of land that we paid for, is there anything that can be done?

You should probably first have the title run to check for discrepancies. You should consult a real estate lawyer to determine if any fraud was or is involved. Once these two items are done, you will know what your next move will be.
