I have a 39 year old son who is currently in Rehab, Multiple drug charges, Who thinks that because his name is on my my home, has never paid a dime, expects me to give him the house for him and his girlfriend and her children, he has already aggressively assaulted my daughter over the girlfriend, in front of the children. When he is told to leave he has played the suicide card more than 46 times to his friends. I am not allowed anyone at my home, and if I do or my daughter does he becomes enranged. And a restraining order hasnt done any good.

I am currently trying to ffind out exactly what his accountablity on my home is, I am over the abuse that he has cause for more than 20 yrs. I can not afford to pay for this house on SSI and find a safe place for me to live.

A: You may want to contact Adult Protective Services for referrals to community resources - including attorneys - that might help. You will likely either need to force a sale of the home or get him to agree to have his name removed from the home. I'm not sure what you mean by the restraining order doing no good; have you properly served him with it and called the police to enforce it?
