[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 683198, member: 20051"] As far as having her removed from the home by the police she has to commit a crime, and you will have to press charges then file an order of protection. By committing a crime she needs to do something like assault you, steal from you, destroy property, or actually threaten you, as in saying she is going to harm you in some way, not saying "if you do this, then I will do that," but, essentially saying, "I am going to kill/physically harm you." In addition you can call 911 if she threatens to harm herself. Again, psychiatric regulations vary from state to state, but if you manage to actually get her admitted to a psychiatric hospital you can tell the hospital where she has been admitted that she cannot return to your home. Here, at least, they have to attempt to secure her some housing. I know that the psychiatric system is frustrating, but it arises from safeguards that were enacted to protect the mentally ill. An adult cannot be hospitalized against their will unless they are an imminent danger to themselves or others. The key word is "imminent." A patient has to be actively homicidal or suicidal or so psychotic that they are unable to meet their basic needs. My suggestion to you, and others have already given this, is to document. Take pictures of anything in your home that she has damaged. Take pictures of her room if it is trashed. Call 911 every time her behavior gets out of control. Remember the 911 dispatch line is recorded. Tell them that she is out of control and that you are afraid of her and that you are not safe and you need assistance. State, specifically, any threats she has made. Borderline (BPD) is a difficult disorder to treat. They thrive on drama and chaos. While she is in your home try not to engage. Don't fight, don't argue, walk away and shut and lock a door behind you. If she gets loud or destructive call 911 and make sure that they can hear her. An attorney isn't needed for eviction (we have rental properties) but a lawyer will make sure that the process goes smoothly and can't be contested on a technicality. [/QUOTE]
