Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My wife and I are trying to evict her sister from our house. We gave her 2 1/2 months notice, she has less than a week before the deadline, and hasn't started packing yet. What can we do to expidite this?

Without knowing the kind of tenancy you are claiming and without knowing what kind of notice you gave, it is impossible to say. However, if you are claiming it was a year to year tenancy and you gave over 60 days' notice (in proper form per statute), you still would be obligated to await the entire time period and then if she does not move the law says you would have to file a forcible entry & detainer action against her.
