You may be able to obtain legal guardianship over your sisters, but there is additional information that affects whether this is your best course of action - for example, what is the status of your sisters' mother(s)? Are her whereabouts known? Would she consent? Are all of your sisters under the age of 18? How long is your dad expected to be incarcerated?
The forms and instructions for legal guardianship are available at the website for the Maricopa County Superior Court - www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov, self-service center, forms, juvenile. I encourage you to review this information to help you determine whether your situation qualifies, and you should speak with an attorney to determine your best course of action.
