A: If the child is being left alone, that is the first thing you might want to address. Some 10 year olds are mature enough to stay by themselves, but, I don't think many Judges would approve of that.

Next thing to do is consult with a Landlord-Tenant attorney. If the house is yours, then technically she is a tenant. You need to serve her certain papers and demands for her to get her out of the house. It is important that you do that correctly. This is why you need to see an attorney.
