Q: If you have an 18 yr old child who is still enrolled in school but are being dissruptive to the household, can the
Parents kick them out?? What is the Ohio law? Repercussions for the parents??
A: If there is no court-ordered parenting agreement from a divorce or custody proceeding, and the child is not special needs, then parental obligations typically cease at age 18. The child could be considered a month-to-month tenant, requiring a proper eviction action. A month to month tenancy can be terminated at the end of any month by giving a written 30 day notice. The form is on the local court web site. If the person does not leave, then a 3 day notice is given, and an eviction action can be filed. Receiving that 30 day notice might be a wake-up call. But an eviction action is a permanent court record once it is filed, and can make it difficult to rent from a future landlord who checks for prior evictions. Perhaps talk to a school counselor to discuss the situation before taking action.
