A: unfortunately the law does not provide a remedy for people acting poorly in all situations. If there was not a written lease or contract, then each party is able to change their minds at any time, just like she couldn't force you to live here.

next time, if you have any hesitation, get an agreement in writing before you decide to uproot your family.
