Is she violent, a drug addict, murderer, rapist, child molester, arsonist or does she just give you cheek an not listen to what you say?
All teens... well most, never listen to there parents, it's there way of growing up and sure they'll make stupid mistakes along the way, so more stupider than others, but it's there mistakes.
And more than likely they'll come running to you to fix them for them, and thought you may not like it and feel disgusted by some of there choices in life you will still help them because that's your job... as a parent.

It's not a pretty job... sometimes... but there family, and if you can't rely on your family, who can you rely on?

She's your daughter.

I left home at 17, I hated my mum and she hated me. So I ended up making the choice to leave because I couldn't cope. Honeslty I wish me and my mum had a good relationship, but we don't. Try to sort it out as you will regret it.

Ok, first take time and read over the site.

You posted this in children so you will get moral answers as to parenting skills and the way to treat children.

If you want LEGAL advice, go to the legal section, perhaps real estate law for eviction.

You will have to give them a 30 day notice that they are to move out. If they still do not move then, you take them to housing court for a order of eviction from the court

Her child is 18 years old. An adult. If she wants to evict her child, that is her business.

First, to Zippit, TJ17 and charl89,

Please pay more attention to the forum questions are posted in. This question was posted in the Real Estate LAW forum. Therefore, responses need to deal with the LEGAL question. All your responses were inappropriate to the question.

To cheryl,
Your daughter is a resident in your home. As a resident she has the same rights as any tenant. From a legal perspective, you are her landlord and she is your tenant. So you have to follow the rules for eviction in your area. You can use the sticky note at the top of this forum to check state laws or check with your local housing court as to the rules.

Generally, you will have to give her a 30 day notice that you are terminating her residency. If she refuses to leave within those 30 days, then the next step is to apply for an eviction order at your local housing court. A hearing will be set and unless she can show cause why she shouldn't be evicted an order will be issued. If she still refuses to vacate, you will have to hire a sheriff to physically remove her.

That being said, evicting a child is an emotionally wrenching situation. Since you don't say why you want to evict, its hard to speak to that issue, but if you want more advice on this you might want to go into more detail.

Finally, what are you finding hard about this site? Did you read the FAQs under the Help link? It is fairly simple. You click on the ASK link at the top of the page, browse through the forums (topics) to find one appropriate to your quiestion. Then click the Ask About (topic) button and type in your question. Finally hit the Submit button. What's so hard about that?

My apologies to Zippit, TJ17 and charl89. Steve brought it to my attention that this was moved from the Children's forum. Since it was there, your responses were not totally inappropriate. However, given that the OP asked a specific legal question its not real helpful to tell him how to relate to his child. It would have been better to report the post requesting it be moved.
