Default Evicting A Non Paying Family Member

Last Dec my father showed up in my driveway in the freezing weather, he said he had no where to go. Out of the kindness of my heart I took him in. It was only supposed to be for a few weeks, until he found other arrangements. He actually ended up staying the entire winter.... He was getting unemployment at the time, but never paid us any money.... I told him that we could not financially afford taking care of him any longer, and asked him to move out 10/31 this year, I gave him 1 1/2 months notice. We live in Will County, Illinois. He left for about two weeks said he was working on a job, I thought he was gone, to find him sleeping in my driveway again two nights ago..... He has a habit of staying with people and getting kicked out, he is not an easy person to live with, he uses people for as long as he can.... Well now they cut my husbands hours at work and we can not afford him here any more... What can I do legally to get him out of my house for good...... I have given him information on shelters, he has a brother, and 5 other children that he can go to and ask for help...... What can I do legally, Please advise Thank You, I am mentally exhausted....... He is 60 or 61 years old........ He cant get social security yet, and his unemployment has run out... He has been on it over a year now . I am mentally exhausted, Thank You For your help Kelly

You are going to have to go through the eviction process if he will not leave. Have you browsed through the information in LawInfo's Free Legal Resource Center to learn more about your issue yet? See: http://www.lawinfo.com/consumer.html. You can certainly try to speak to a lawyer to determine what legal options may be available. In the meantime, you may be able to learn more on your own. Search the "Free Legal Resources" tab, or browse the Consumer Resources. Good luck.

Kelly,

The process of eviction is the same for everyone - even if they are a relative.

Can you tell us what state you are in? That would give me a good jumping off point.
