Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Getting a family member out of my house

You can file a petition in your local court (District or Circuit) under the Md. domestic violence law, asking that your brother be removed from the home for your protection. If initially granted, the police or sheriff will remove him immediately, but then there will be a court hearing a week later at which you will have to testify as to his abusive conduct, and he will be entitled to defend himself.
