Q: Can i legally kick my 18 year old out before she graduates in colorado?
There is drug use and alcohol use. She is 5 months from graduation.
A: Yes. Your 18 year old is now an adult in the eyes of the law. Graduation has nothing to do with it. If she refuses to go, you could potentially call the police. If they won't do anything you might have to go through eviction procedures. The simple answer to your question is "yes." Once you do, you might consider changing the locks for security reasons, give the drug and alcohol use.
