    I own a home with an abusive drunk and drug addict.Must sell house to move.
    We have a nice house on acerage. Both are on the deed. NYS. Do not share a room. He stays in his rooma and does drugs and drinks warm beer as he will not put it in the fridge because he says I make him feel guilty about how much he drinks. Will not work. Does nothing around the house but play with his toys or will cut the grass when he has to. I work but only a min wage job now as I quit my good job of 14 yrs to build a business on the property. He got his money (what little is left) settlement and bought this home cash. I try to do what I can about getting things done her by selling my things. This house is furnished by me what was mine before I moved in. My credit card is maxed and all money from a death in my family gone. I have no kids but pets that I had before this home and cannot move with out the sale of this house. I have pics of drug para and up to 40 empy beer cases and cans in his room along with computer evidence of porn. Hole punched in his door while I was at work and my 120.00 phone he broke in front of me while I called the police on him. I need a way out with my furry kids and he wants to own me. My health is declining due to stress. I need help. What kind of laywer can help me and how do I force sale on this house for my freedom? I am afraid he will find out I posted this question but need help.

    The fact that he has porn on his computer is enough, drinking, abusive, drugs. Get a court order and have him evicted. I don't know, this doesn't sound good apple tree. Does he go out ? Have the locks changed.

    Whose name is the house in ? Both or just him ?

    You said both names are on the deed, therefore you cannot evict him. You can report the drug usage to the police and they may arrest him. But that only gets him out of the house, maybe.

    You either need to buy him out, have him buy you out or agree together to sell.
