In a non sexual relationship the unnamed person just made false accusations would the 18yo still go to jail or get punished even though the 14yo said they weren't true and they didn't find any evidence in the 18yo doing things to the 14yo

Sounds like your daughters rights. She needs to get medical treatment. Contact the victim assistance coordinator of the DA's office --let them interface with police. She has a number of rights but neither you nor she can compel the police to arrest anyone. So tact is the word--though see if... View More 
He didn't, I contacted him through
Messages (have the proof he promised to pay us) and he still has not given us our money. Can I hold most of his tax refund for what he owes and write him a receipt of paid in full and give home what is left since I am the one doing his taxes?

Your gripe is with that nurse. As long as the result is properly documented, it is unlikely it will be suppressed.

You probably can't, if it is barred by a statute of limitations, but you have not provided enough facts to answer beyond that.
I got insurance pre-approval for the procedure and spoke with the scheduler to ensure that everything was covered so there were no surprises (my exact words). Afterward - the Anesthesiologist balance billed me for the procedure as they said they were out of network. Insurance paid them based upon... View More

I would suggest to the facility that arranged for the pre cert that if they have an out of network person for anesthesiology then it is up to them to tell you, and tell the anesthesiologist as he didn't let you know he was out of network you are not paying.
