Q: I'm 40 years old. What is my legal right as an adult to get my parents to leave me alone and let me have my house?
We all live together with my husband as well. Since I got married, they seem to have declined in health. Dad had a TIA and is better now. But mom isn't taking care of herself. We constantly argue about the fact that they have not let me out if their sight since birth. I just need my own space and get little respect. My name should be on the mortgage of our house because my husband's name is on it as well as my parents. They think Im not capable of being an adult when I try so hard. I dont want to be their caregiver. I feel underqualified.

A: If you are all titled owners of the house, and you don't want to live with them, then you either need to 1) buy out their interest in the property and have them move; 2) have them buy your interest in the property and then you move; 3) sell the property and everyone moves; or 4) if no one can agree to any of the other ideas, file an action for partition and have to court decide what to do with it.
