Evicting Adult Child

[WjTorn]

What is the name of your state? Alabama

I have begun to make arrangements to evict my lazy disrespectful 20 year old daughter. My preparations include compiling all her personal documents, i.e., birth and shot records, etc. Also I will be coordinating with local law enforcement as required to ensure her uneventful departure. Would you recommend I file an unlawful detainer complaint to give this eviction "teeth"? Lastly, what else would you recommend I do to legally close off any "loose ends" and effectively terminate our relationship to include a restraint from further contact? Also, I would welcome any thoughts you have pertaining to social services I can direct my daughter to. Thank you.

Have you provided her with written 30 day notice as required by law?

Thank you for your answer. No. I haven't. So, there is a requirement to provide 30 day written notice.

She is not a tenant - she is a guest or invitee and you should have discussion with an attorney and not the police.

Change the locks and go on vacation.

She might not be a tenant, but she is a legal occupant and as such has many of the same rights as a tenant. OP should not just change the locks. That's inviting trouble upon him/her.
