How to force an adult child to move out
Our 18 year old son is a senior in high school. What are our options to get him out of the house once he is no longer a student (whether by graduation or dropping out)? He is unwilling to follow the house rules, will not get a job, will not contribute to car insurance (he doesn't have car privileges but since he is a licensed driver living in our home, we must insure him). He is disrespectful and, at times, destructive. If he won't move out willingly, what can we do to force the issue?

Re: How to force an adult child to move out
You might give him an incentive to move out. For example, offer to pay his rent for a month or two to give him a taste of living on his own. You might legally be able to evict him, but it won't look so good and, quite honestly, I don't know the legality of evicting a child.
