Re: ''eviction of roomate''
This is a tricky area of the law and one where you probably ought to follow the advice of an attorney. If you make an error, even a minor technical one, it may invalidate your eviction. For this reason, its a good idea to see an attorney who practices in this area and have him draft the petition for unlawful detainer and have him take care of getting service of process. That way you can be sure that all the rules are followed.
If you do not wish to do this, go to the missouri statutes (they can be found on line by following the research links at www.mobar.org) and look up the unlawful detainer statute and it will tell you how to proceed.
Good luck.
