Child Custody Laws in California?

Hi I’m a 17 year old female who lives in southern California. I have been living with my dad for the past two years and have supervised visits with my mom.
How could I change custody from my dad to my aunt and uncle? They live in Utah and would love to take care of me for the next year until I am 18. Can I do this legally without having to bring in lawyers? My parents are going through a nasty divorce thats lasted for the past 6 years.
Thanks so much!

property law- family matter over inheritance of property?

Issue: My Grandpa sold my Mother his property for so he wouldn’t have to get a will. He has 3 other living children and he mentioned he only trusted my Mother. Now he is mad at her? So he got one of her sisters to start helping him out and she started telling him she heard my Mother wants to sell his property (even though he still lives on it)- this is UNtrue and no basis. My aunt just wants to own it because she intends to sell it herself (no proof).

My Aunt and him got a lawyer to sue my Mother so she can return the property. She purchased this property from him.

The basis for the lawyer filing it, is that my Aunt got my Grandpa to say that my Mother told him that he was medically incapable of making decisions (she did not), She also got him to say he doesn’t speak english. He is fluent in english and speaks very little spanish. He is very stubborn and ignores people and when he wants to ignore them more he pretends not to know english.

He is NOT fluent in spanish and neither are any of his kids.

They are suing to have my Mom return the property on the basis that she "tricked" him into selling it to her.

None of it is true, my Grandpa really has lost some sense of reality over the years. My aunt has only recently since he has been sick started to help him out. She’s the one pushing to find out about a will and his property.

What can my Mom do? What can she expect? (she is in the process of looking for an attorney) The original attorney that was involved says that my Grandpa speaks fluent English and he was willing and able to sell it at the time over 3 years ago.

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Question regarding family/estate law?

60 something year old woman takes care of her brother who has the functionality of a 2 year old all of his life, he is in his 60s as well. Their mother is now ill with Alzheimer’s and she is now having to take care of her mom. Her mom owns the house in which they all live and controls the money and the entire estate. 60 something year old woman also has 2 sisters who do not help at all but have power of atty. over their mom. If mom goes to a nursing home what can this lady do to continue to take care of her brother and live survive herself as well? Can she get a lawyer and sue? If mom goes to nursing home do they, the nursing home, not get the house and bank account? It is getting impossible to take care of the old lady, she is getting violent and threatens to kick her out of the house every day. The sisters will not have her declared incompetent yet they offer nothing to help. Any suggestions?

Whose responsibilty is Mother in law ? A son and his family or his husband ?

My Mother in law is abused by his husband since last 40 years. She is not financially independent and so she keeps on complaining about her problems to his son ( my husband ). They live in India and my mother in law wants to be here in USA and my father in law doesnt want to be in USA because we dont tolerate his behaviour. So, my mother in law emotionally narrates her strories to his son. Now, my husband is encouraging his Mother to live separate and he wants to pay for her survival like rent of a house, furniture, kitchen accessories, TV, Fridge, Microwave, Washer dryer etc. And also he wants to give some 300 USD every month for her living expence. By doing this she will get her home separate and then she can move back and forth between USA and India and we will be paying her travel, medical expence. I think if she want to live separate from her husband then she should take help of lawyer and should ask for support money. Her son or we family are not responsible for her maintaince.
We are expecting and we recently got new house. my job is new and i work hard to save money and my husband just thinks of his mother. i dont mind in helping her but there is always a limit. Our priority should be new baby, not his Mom. She is her husband’s responsibilty. If she is not happy, she should fight for her rights in court rather depending on our money.

What could I do to deal with timebaway from my mom? I'm having really bad stress moments?

I’m a 14 year old guy and I’m kind of a mommas boy that’s right. Not like the nerd in the movies but I miss my parents easily. They got a divorce last year and even though it was amicable, I spend a week at each house now, both in the same small town in southern California (beach cities). My mom is going to visit a close friend in south Carolina for two weeks and I know I will miss her. I’m just having these emotion/stress attacks about that, seeing each parent half of the time, and living in two houses. How do I deal with this? PS I already go to therapy bimonthly. And an extra question: idk the exact city but how generally safe is south Carolina? Thanks.

Should I become a lawyer?

I’m easily stressed, don’t manage time well, well-spoken, stiff, mild Asperger’s, worry over every little thing, did a Canadian Law course in school did NONE of homework, what I did do was a pain in the ***, but something keeps saying for me to be a lawyer. Why is this? How do I get this out of my head? I’ve got a slight temper, am easily offended, can’t deal with poeple,don’t enjoy reading, would feel bad prosecuting, couldn’t defend someone I know is guilty, couldn’t do civil law, I’d feel bad for litigants, couldn’t do family law. My dad says lawyer is a good job, but my mother says she would never want me to be a lawyer, so should I just respect mom’s desires and stay away from law? I get REALLY stressed and confused when my routine changes, and want a predictable job, where you know what you’re up against when you go to work, which doesn’t seem to be a lawyer’s job.

Is this a good job for me? Someone with mild Asperger’s?, How do I get this out of my head? Please be thorough.
