Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: adult child forced out of house

There are a number of ways to make her leave, but it depends first on the "adult" child's age. Assuming she is 18 or older you can tell her to leave and if she refuses have her removed by authorities.

However, she will take her baby with her. This is less a legal issue as it is a family matter. If you want to take custody of your grandchild this is something different.

I do not handle custody matters of this type, but if that is your goal, I am sure other attorney's who will respond to your question do. If not, I can refer you to someone who does.

Re: adult child forced out of house

I agree and I do handle these type of cases. A major issue is exactly what is the verbal "abuse." If you are concerned that the daughter's action is detrimental or bad for her infant, there are at least two options. Guardianship petition is certainly one of them. You can call me and I will be glad to talk about your options.
