Re: emancipation / eviction
Appreciate the agony of living with a near adult child. Emphasis on the word child.
And, there are no solutions to your problems, except time and rather questionable and drastic measures.
Eventually, your step son may morph into the most beautiful, competent decent person you know. But, in the meantime, although you cannot "put the "wayward one" out of "his home," if you, your wife and child really cannot take it anymore, you can quietly, w/o advance notice, MOVE and not take him with you. If necessary, you can sell your house, give up your lease, and relocate, to a place unknown to him. HIS parents can then arrange for his support to age 21, via a monthly "support" check, or monthly rental of his "room" costs, to a third party, as may be appropriate or necessary.
Good luck,
