Re: throwing son out of house
You asked about throwing an adult son out of your house.
Your question is what?
He doesn't have a lease. He doesn't have any other right to stay there. You have to give him reasonable notice. (Reasonable notice will vary according to locality.) You can make certain conditions applicable for the remainder of his stay, such as no drug use, and so on.
You should be aware for an escalation of any conduct and in fact should engage an attorney to assist you before taking any steps. Your situation is common plenty of people have been down the road before.
Regards,
Roger
