Q: How do i legally make a nonfamily member leave my home that is emotionally abusing my child, but refuses to move out
*REVISED* I own home,my father owns land.No lease was signed.Verbal agreement to pay half of utilities.Hasn't paid in 3 months.Eviction filed awaiting court hearing in 2 days. When her home was sold 2 years ago she refused to leave,the new owners had to use law officers to forcefully make her leave.When I helped her pack and move out I thought she would only stay a few days,not 2 years.Since she was forced from her last residence and has refused for 2 years to move out of my home,i know she'll have to be forcefully removed from my home as well.im afraid she will get angry when forced to move out and will retaliate. Is there some kind of restraining order i can put on her before and after eviction court to keep her from destroying my home and to keep her away from my 10 year old son (who she has been emotionally and verbally abusing for the last 3 weeks after his father died while driving her car)? And what should I take to eviction court to make sure she doesn't win?
A: The eviction proceeding you have already initiated is the quickest and least expensive way.
