She is in possession. If she moved in legally, proper notice and eviction are necessary and utilities can not be shut off. Putting the utilities in her name may be possible but may be a useless act as well as not being the real goal. If she is threatening arson and has a minor child DCFS has emergency powers, as does your area's police department. You should be contacting an attorney in your area as well as the local authorities.
