More details to this question:
Our mother was arrested and his dad is out of town dealing with a family death. I just need to be able to sign any legal documents/school related (sports etc) in the absence of both parents. He is 16 and currently in the care of my husband and me.

I presume that you are over the age of 18. The easiest thing would be to get a 6-month temporary guardianship, if your mom will sign the requisite form (you can start at the Clark County family law self-help center). Otherwise, you can petition for guardianship. If contested, or you can't get cooperation, you may want to consult with a family law specialist in this or another office to obtain guardianship. See:
