Re: being kicked out of house.

If the mother owns the house, she can certainly determine who lives there and who doesn't. If the children are over 18, then legally they are adults and the parents no longer have a duty to support them under most circumstances.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
