My husband has a 16y/o that may or may not be his. She is a runaway, DNA is yet to be established, but he is on the birth certificate. When she ran away she came to her dad's and is now refusing to go back with her mom. Can we be charged with harboring a minor?

there is no such charge as harboring a minor. there is a charge for harboring a fuguitve. this doesnt sound like a criminal case or one that the police will want to arrest dad for. It coudl be a custody order violation but dad has a defense if the kid won't go back to mom. this should be worked out by teh family without police or courts.
