Legal Question in Family Law in California
Divorced, with 16 and 15 yr old daughters, and a grand daughter from the 16 yr old.
both are manic depress, and bi polar, smoking weed and other drugs, hanin with gangs , somehow they still go to school but whenever they want. The both run away from each parent house, and recently battered me knowing I broke my kneck 15 year ago and my back is bad, they both are experts in jiu jitsu and jumped on me doing a stand up guillotine as well as leg lock, injuring my knee and back badly. Both don't want to be with either parent unless we agree to follow their rules and not give them any rules from us. We fear for the wealth of our grand daughter, found notes on their journals they like to kill both of us and step parents, and runn away with sibiling. Both parets are terrified and dont want them near our youngest kids, now they have some person who likes to be tehir guardian suddenly and asks for parents to this person custody, although they like child spprt from us. How is this fair and what can we do please?

Unfortunately you are responsible for children until they are age 18. It sounds like you have a choice to make. suffer through these children or pay child support. For me paying child support is a viable option. You may think it is unfair but you have a legal obligation to support children.
