My daughter lives with her Mom and grandmother. Grandma owns the home. Does she have the right to kick my daughter out of the house? My daughter is 16yrs old. Does grandma have the right to pack up my daughter's belongings and drop her off somewhere else?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Why would she do that?

Why isn't Mom doing anything about it?

Somewhere else ,like where ?

A juvenile intervention center ?

Nope. Unless grandma has custodial rights, she cannot throw a minor out of the minor's home. Not without BOTH parents consent.

I'm with Pro on this. What is mom's participation in this whole thing?

Why haven't you taken YOUR minor child into your home or sued for emergency custody of YOUR minor child?

Even both parents together can't throw a 16 year old out on the street.

Grandma CAN evict mom AND child, and it will be up to mom to find a suitable home for both of them.

I would LOVE to hear the background on this one. I'm sure it's a doozy.

Agreed. Grandma is not legally obligated to provide free housing, or even paid housing to her adult daughter and any kids that adult child may have. She can legally evict mom and her minor child. Grandma certainly can kick them out if she uses the legal process required.
