A portion of your question is missing; however, it appears you are asking if a conservator can spend money belonging to the conservatee's estate on bills/expenses/assets of the conservator.

I have already contacted APS and local police, they are telling me to request the courts for the POA to hand over financial records so the POA can be removed due to the abuse.... Read more »
Unfortunately, this situation will likely require a conservatorship, which is a court-monitored process that can and will revoke the Power of Attorney. If the older adult had a trust in place, it's possible that a conservatorship would not be necessary. Either way, please consult an elder... Read more »

My daughter said she will kill herself if I stop her from talking to this 13 year old girl I don't know what to do . Can I file a restraining order ? My daughter does have a Psychiatry list and she speaks with a counsellor already . But I think this girl is influencing her.
This is a very delicate situation and there is single right answer on what you can do. I suggest maybe also reaching out to the other girls parents to help figure out a solution.

I have a dvro that protects me and my children from their father. It states no contact directly or indirectly. He had his mother text me to ask if he could send the kids a video of him. And that he doesn’t want to violate the order but would like to send the video if I will allow it.
IF IT SAYS DIRECT OR INDIRECT, THIS WOULD BE A VIOLATION.............
HOWEVER, DO YOU NOT WANT HIM TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR KIDS?
I AM SURE YOU WANT TO DO WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE KIDS WHILE FOLLOWING THE LAW......
I have always resided in California, does the case automatically transfer? I want to end guardianship and am not sure if I petition in New Mexico or California? Guardianship was not supposed to be this long (13 years thus far), but birth mother keeps having time added to her sentence in prison.
Jurisdiction over the case does not automatically transfer, so the court that has been overseeing the case is where you would file.
My daughter said she will kill herself if I stop her from talking to this 13 year old girl I don't know what to do . Can I file a restraining order ?
she needs a psychiatrist and medical treatment more than a lawyer.
a mother and father should sit down with her and try to get through to her.
