[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 372065, member: 1157"] I don't know anything about Illinois, but in many states (including mine, Virginia) if an adult is unwilling to move out, you do have to start formal eviction proceedings to make that happen. In my case, when my Oldest was 19, she refused to leave when I "kicked her out." However, the situation escalated to violence once night and the police escorted her out, she didn't argue with them. I couldn't have called them to simply remove her otherwise, however. I'm not sure what you mean by "there is no path except to complete three years of college and get her degree." An alternative, if the "child" in question is willing and able, is to insist that she work and pay rent if she wants to enjoy the privilege of living at home. Personally this would be my next step if my child were flunking out of school; I ceratainly wouldn't foot the bill if the grades weren't there. If she doesn't want to go, why push her? Let her try her hand in the working world for awhile. Of course, I don't know the specifics of the situation. Is this behavior, and the academic issues, recent? Were there similar issues in high school? Is there any sort of diagnosed disorder/disability? [/QUOTE]
