What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maine
How do we safely get rid of this woman?
I met a woman and became friends with her while I was studying in France. She later moved to Arizona. She is from Croatia. She emailed me stating that she needed money for a medical bill which we gave her $2500. Then she flew into Boston and told my father she was stranded so the bus company allowed her to ride into Maine for free and my father picked her up 3 weeks ago.
She refuses to leave and stays with my father without contributing a dime. She makes international phone calls on our phone and eats our food. She has appalling personal habits and it has now become clear to us that she is mentally ill. She was a bit flamboyant when I knew her in Europe but since her father died and her relatives put her on a strict allowance she has become a leech and completely crazy.
My father is afraid to ask her to leave and thinks that she is just crazy enough to possibly pay him back a little of what she owes him if he waits for it. I think the cops will have to be called to remove her sooner or later. He is convinced she will be raped or killed on the streets if she is turned out of his house without first getting her "money" from her family.
What can I do to help my father? I am still in France but I could make phone calls. I was there last week in Maine but I had to return to France for business purposes. What can I do to get her out? Is there some sort of state agency that can help him? He is of sound mind but he is handicapped and 76 years old. He is not sleeping with her. She sleeps on the sofa in another room. She does not want to leave. Please give me any advice you can. I am very worried about this. Any suggestions as to what I can tell my Dad to get him to see the light?
