Do I need to do conservitership, at what time and for what reason since we are her natural parents?

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 recommend your friend consult an attorney well-versed in Oklahoma family law immediately. It is possible she has a duty to report this situation to DHS and could face liability if she fails to do so.

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.

There is no perfect system. If allegations cannot be proven, or opinions are offered, a court can disregard them. People can lie about things. It is the court's duty to decide what to do. Courts and judges aren't perfect. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law... View More

Yes, they could get in trouble. And having a boyfriend move in with a 16 year old is just a bad idea. It is likely the 16 year old will end up with a baby, and the boyfriend will move on to someone else. That will make it difficult for the mother to complete her education to ever be able to...

Simply telling them to leave should be enough. If not, then issuing them a trespass warning and involving the police would be the next step. If this fails, then a court order is your final and most expensive option.
