Q: Can i get A 3 day eviction notice for being a stay at home mom?
My children's dad and I are splitting up and he said I could stay here till my place was ready, it's not ready cause there is no running water. I still take care of my 3 children daily and he said he can get a 3 day eviction notice on me! Can he do that
A: Don't be intimidated by such threats. Even if he did give a 3 day notice, if you didn't leave in 3 days, then he would still have to file an eviction action, and the court would schedule an eviction hearing for a week or so later, and if it ordered an eviction, typically would give a few days for you to vacate. So the entire legal process for an eviction can take several weeks. If he locks you out, call the police, and you can file a civil action against him for wrongful eviction. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local attorney to discuss the process.
