A:
If your stepson's girlfriend is staying at your home without your approval, and it’s becoming an issue, you can request that she not be allowed to stay there. First, have a direct conversation with her and your stepson to express your concerns. Make it clear that you expect her to obtain prior approval before staying at your home, and set boundaries about extended stays.
If she continues to stay without permission, you have the option to request a "no trespass" order. To obtain one, you can contact your local police department or the court. The process usually involves filing a complaint and explaining that she is trespassing by remaining at your residence without consent.
If the situation doesn’t improve, you can request that law enforcement formally issue the no trespass order. This would legally prevent her from entering or staying at your home without your permission. If needed, you can also seek a restraining order if the situation escalates further.
