Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

eviction

Do I have a legal right to force my stepson out of my house. He is now smoking pot, has got into trouble with the police and is verbally abusive to me. His mom wants him out also, but is also still protective of him. He is 22 years old. What procedure to I use if he refuses to leave, if I legally can do this.

Re: eviction

This depends on whether your wife is also an owner of the house. If so, the two of you need to give him a thirty day notice to leave. If he fails to leave then you need to file an eviction.

Another way is if he actually physically threatens you, you might be able to get a protective order requiring him to leave on a temporary basis.
