We have standard visitation. I'm the residential and custodial guardian. He gets them every other weekend, every other holiday etc. I want them to spend the time with their dad but don't feel comfortable with her watching them alone for 3 weeks half of the day. Is there anything I can do?
It depends on what your parenting agreement says about parenting time if the parent is not available. Check that agreement or talk to the attorney who handled your divorce.
No, you can't. You could be sent to juvenile detention, and your cousin can get in legal trouble. Talk to a teacher, school counselor, family member, or other trusted adult about your situation.
They have been talking about wanting a baby I have done everything I can to keep them apart. But he sneaks out. If they get pregnant do I have to pay support for the baby? She will be 18 in May 2020 and he will be 18 in September 2020.
Unless she is pregnant already, the baby would be born after both are 18, and no longer minors. She would pay medical expenses for the delivery, then she can file for him to pay child support until the child reaches age 18.
I have a family who would be willing to let me live with them bc they have known the long history of her abuse, and have encouraged me to leave. I graduate from High school in 3 months, is his even realistic for me to do? Can I do this legally and how can I keep her from bothering me or trying to... Read more »
Talk to a teacher, school counselor, or other trusted adult about your situation. When you are 18, you are no longer a minor. If you leave, will you still have health insurance, car insurance, other support?
So my mom says she wants me out her house but when i leave she calls the police.
You are your parents responsibility until you are 18. They can get in trouble if they kick you out, and you can get in trouble if you leave. Talk to a teacher, school counselor, or other trusted adult about your situation at home, or call local children's services.

Check your prior tax returns, which will list the children's SSN. You can get copies of prior returns from the IRS.

My fiancee and I split up due to a stupid choice on my part. She has taken back everything that was given to me as a gift during our relationship. We also have a truck that is in both of our names. I make the payments, but she wants it back.
Unless a gift is conditioned on something, like getting married, then it belongs to the recipient. If the giver takes it back, the recipient can sue. With the truck, since both your names are on the title as owners, both of you have the legal right to drive it, but both of you are required to... Read more »

Contact children's services. They will investigate the situation and could remove the children from the home if they confirm those problems. They could then let you take care of the children if you are willing.
Not without the permission of both parents.
he doesn't have any children (other than me)and his brother is the POA of his estate. What rights do I have to look after my father or even meet him.
Unfortunately, the short answer is none. Everyone in the described fact pattern is an adult, meaning they can freely decide who they interact with. You do not have a protected "right" to meet him. While normally you may be given some say in his medical care as his only biological child, he has a... Read more »
Without the consent of my parents if it was ok with his parents, I wouldn't be in any danger, and my parents don't know him or his family, but I know his family is good people
Of course you can't. You could get in trouble, and his parents could get in trouble.
I understand that if I’m told to go back home I have to no matter what and that they can call the police but other than that are there any other problems with it?
Are you asking if there are more problems other than having the police come get you? Isn't that enough of a problem? But yes, there are other problems. You could go to juvenile detention. And depending on the facts, the guardian might be removed as your guardian for allowing you to move in with... Read more »

I check in with my parents daily, I do my online classes, and I'm starting a job. They know I'm safe but they'd rather have me home. I'm not abused or anything it's just difficult being there.
You could get in trouble and go to juvenile detention, and your parents could get the people you are staying with in trouble also. Talk about it with your parents, with a teacher, school counselor, or other trusted adult.
