Making An Adult Child Move Out
I am a single mom with a 21 yr old son living in my home. He works part-time (20 hrs wkly) and plays video games and stays on his computer the remainder of the time. He has no interest in going back to school. He turns a deaf ear when approached about it. He is rude to me, has a bad temper, and does almost nothing to help around the house. He only helps when I stay on him constantly. I am extremely tired of the entire situation. I have asked him to move out several times and he refuses. I have been to the JP's Office twice and they refuse to evict him as he is not a tenant. Although he did pay rent for a short time, but I kept no receipts. I've talked to just about every law enforcement official in my county. They all say they can do nothing unless he threatens me and I call them. I can change the locks and put his stuff out when he's gone. However, he would probably break the door down or break a window. Then I would call the police and have to wait for them to arrive. No telling what he would do in that time frame. Is the only way I can remove him is by hiring a lawyer?
