We have a 30 year old male (our son) living in our household.. He's been our of the nest three times and back.. (our mistake).. He sits in our guest room all day and night, playing video games and listening to music with headphones on.. refuses to pick up after himself, or comply with even basic housekeeping.. He demands financail support and exhibits open hostility when refused.. Or when politely asked to do the slightest cleaning task... He is angry and openly hostile.. We are in our early sixties and have health issues of our own.. We feel like we are being held hostage in our own home.. Any advice would be appreciated.. (We live in Clark County Washington) Thanks

If you want help doing it, contact your attorney. You will give them written notice to move out. If they don't move out at that point, then you file for eviction in housing court. You don't pick up after him, let him run out of clean clothes and don't give him a penny. If he gets hostile, call the police on him.

Any person who is a resident of your home should be evicted according to the local real estate/housing laws.
Therefore you need to give him a months's notice to vacate. So, before the end of the month give him written notice to vacate before April 1. Include in the notice that if he does not vacate, that you will be forced to go to court for an eviction order. Then on April 1, you go to court if he hasn't moved out.
Check with your local housing court for the exact eviction process.
For future reference, please be more accurate and selective in choosing a title and forum for your posts. In the title you refer to sibling, but in the body your refer to a son. Also you post this under parenting when it is really a real estate law issue (I moved it).

... Int he title you refer to sibling, but in the body your refer to a son. ...
Dadd19, for your information: your "sibling" would be either your brother or your sister. On the other hand, your "child" would be your son or daughter.
