Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

Disruptive 18 year old

We have and 18 year old who is disruptive, rude and irresponsible. We have asked her repeatedly to help out and clean up after herself. She flat our refuses and insists that if we even touch her she'll call the police. My wife grabbed her by the arm and my daughter said if she touched her again that she would call the police. She has since moved out but still comes into the house when we are not here and leaves a mess.

My question is, if I want her to leave and tell her to do so and she refuses, what do I have a right to do? Can I grab her by the arm and direct her out of the house? Do I need to call the police myself? She seems to think that she can do what ever she wants and we can do nothing about it.

Re: Disruptive 18 year old

Change the locks, notify the police that she is no longer residing there and call the cops if she shows up uninvited or refuses to leave. Don't escort her out yourselves.
