More details to this question:
My 16 yr old niece was kicked out of her parents house and is now living with me. My sister has no intention of taking her back. I'm not saying that my sister is an unfit parent or that she is neglecting her, what I am trying to say is that my sister and my niece can not get along. They argue a lot, my sister is always controlling what she wears, does, where she goes and who she talks to. My niece does not want to go back to her moms house. I do not know what to do.

If you want your niece to continue living with you and if both her parents agree, they can sign a Temporary Power of Attorney for Our Minor Child, allowing her to live with you and giving you authority to register her in school, take her to the doctor, etc. This is revocable at will. Any family law attorney should be able to provide the form. You may also be able to get one from your local legal aid (Volunteer Legal Services).
