Q: how do you legally remove someone from using your address as their legal residence?
Our 18 yeard old son left the house due to a breakdown in the relationship and his inability to follow household rules. When I called to remove him from our car insurance i am being told we must provide new proff of address and verification he is covered under a different policy. We have no way of verifying his new information. I am being told that if he gets into an accident because he license shows our address. The claim would be filed under our policy.
what can we do to legally have him removed as resident in our home? We have no idea where he is living. By NC law he is supposed to change his legal residence with the state within 60 days of moving and provide new proof of insurance . Currently he does not have a car so I am sure he will not update his info with the state.

A: An easier option would be to look into simply canceling the policy and get a new one with a new company without your son on it. As to removing him as a resident, if he no longer physically lives there - he is as 'not a resident' as he ever will be. Also there is no NC law that requires him to change his 'legal residence' (there isn't even such a thing as 'legal residence'). All he is required to do is update his address with DMV within 60 days of moving - and you can not force him to do that. However, just because his license has your address on it, does not make him a resident there. Best of luck.
