New Baltimore, MI asked in Family Law for Michigan

Q: I live in Michigan and I live with my cousin. I have an issue with my sister just popping in whenever she wants.

Normally this would not be an issue but my sister and I have a very long issue with her coming into my home when I am not around, sleeping with my man, telling my man lies and causing problems for me to come home to, leading to destruction of my relationships and moving abruptly on multiple occasions over a span of 40 years. Now I realize we have a cousin in common and would not deny them the ability to hang out and do what family does, but I don't want her being inside my home when I am not personally at home. Is there anything I can do about this? Additionally, I have no idea of which area of law this would fall into.

A: This is more a boundary issue than a legal problem. Is it your's or your cousin's house? Depending on your answer to that, you need to have a conversation with your cousin about this and whether you or they need to move out if you can't be on the same page about this issue.

You also need a conversation with your man. Your sister wouldn't be sleeping with him or telling him lies if he wasn't willing to lie down with her or listen.
