Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia
If I let a friend stay with me as a guest for over 30 days can I ask them to leave? I've given a verbal 30 day notice (witnessed). My child and I are also bring threatened and verbally abused. We live in Virginia. This person has given me 180.00 in the last 8 weeks (I did not ask for).

Sounds likely that a Virginia general district court would be inclined to treat your situation described
as a landlord-tenant matter and require you to go through the legal prrcedures required
of a landlord to evict a tenant in the Commonwealth. (And, yes, I'm aware that you would
probably reject any attempt to characterize yourself as a landlord in the situation described.)
Therefore, given the foregoing, you would seem well advised to visit the clerk's office of your local general district court (civil division) and ask one of the clerks there to provide you with the paperwork you will need to complete to have this "freeloader" legally evicted from your premises.
