Yes, she is over the age of 18 and now an adult.

I would contact your local police (or sheriff's department or constables) and discuss it with them. They often are able to give you some excellent suggestions on what to do.

You can also contact your local small claims court about evictions.

Then re-key your home with good locks. I have had several families broken into by their children's "friends" after they remove their children from their homes -- so be alert & keep your doors locked.
