family dispute

How can my 79 year old mother make her alcoholic 57 year old son move out of her house ? The last time the police came [because of his drinking] they said it was his legal residence and they could not force him to leave.

Re: family dispute

Assuming that she owns the house and really wants her out, she can use landlord-tenant process to require him to move.

If he is physically abusive, the Abuse Prevention Act allows her to get an abuse prevention order {"restraining order"). The fact that the police did not assist yo9ur mother in doing so suggests that she did not state that he was abusing her, or putting her in fear of abuse.
