Roanoke, VA asked in Child Custody, Child Support, Civil Rights and Landlord - Tenant for Virginia

Q: I currently rent a house with my boyfriend, things are not working out and we are now on a month to month lease.

The landlord is on my side, but how do I legally get him to move out, since he won’t leave on his own. We also have an almost 2 yr old daughter and I want to have full custody of her. He is a convicted felon x2 and on probation.

A: I regret that I do not handle domestic relations or child custody matters. Sorry. If you and the faster of the child are both on the lease, the landlord will have to proceed in Court to ask the Court enter an order for possession against him. You need to work with the landlord on that issue. It may be best for you to consult with an attorney who is located in the same jurisdiction and the location of the premises to give you advice.
