They should be legal as the law that banned them (dealing with switchblade knives and anything similar) was repealed.

That depends - how do your brother and your parents feel about it? Your parents have control over where you live until you are 18.

Not as I read the law--if you are over 16 it's not illegal.

Majority of court-appointed attorneys are very good. They often handle a lot of cases so they know what the judges find persuasive. Some may have large caseloads and may struggle to give each file as much attention as they otherwise would like. Sometimes you do get better results with hiring a... View More

She can file a petition for emancipation. You can consider filing for guardianship of your sister as well.

You should be notified by mail. If you weren't, then hire a juvenile court lawyer quickly.

I don't know what you meaning by "grooming" but it would not be a good idea. If you were to engage in any sexual activity (not merely intercourse but "petting", oral, sending each other pic's of yourselves nude, etc.) you could be charged with lewd acts with a minor,... View More

Do you mean with regard to discipline? The state offers quite broad protections for a parent to discipline as they see fit. If you were wanting to leave the house on a permanent basis and seek emancipation, then that is different.

Dear friend,

I was unable to identify any specific question that you have. It sounds like your teenage years have been quite difficult. As I don't have the full story, I highly recommend you seek advice from someone local that you can visit with in person and tell them your story.... View More

I’m sorry to that you are not happy at home with your mom. At 14 you can’t just run away and decide where to live. Your dad could consult with an attorney to see if there are options for him to get primary custody. Try talking to your mom about the problems and see if it helps.

In order to better advise you on your situation, I would need to know more information about the specifics of your case. I'd highly recommend retaining an experienced family law attorney for the matter.
