    Eviction of Adult Child
    Is it necessary to legally evict an adult child when there is no lease or rental agreement in place nor any exchange of money or payment of rent?

    Yes, the child is legally a tenant and must be evicted according to State law.

    Im not sure if things differ from where I am from (England) and where you are from but definitely not. Once a child is 16 you have no responsibility to provide them with a home. Obviously parents do continue to offer their child a home longer because they want what's best for them but some times 'children' can take this for granted. X

    I just looked at the law in UK and it appears to be saying that the child is a tenant and has to be evicted, cannot simply be locked out.

    What is your legal source?

    I work in Children's Services and we deal with parents evicting their children on a daily basis. There is no contract between a mother and child and their obligation ends when a child hits school leaving age which is 16 nearly 17.

    I cannot find any means by which a parent can get a child of the house other than eviction. I'm not arguing with you but what is the process in the UK or do you a site where the law is posted?
