[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 714633, member: 1233"] I am sorry you are going through all of this. It must be difficult. I know it will be more difficult when her moment of clarity comes and she realizes she cannot come home and she starts exploding/melting down because you have all made this decision. Of course she will not at all, ever, she how her behavior contributed in any way to the situation and the outcome. Luckily, she is with people who can handle her behaviors, and you don't have to. You shouldn't have to spend a fortune on lawyers for this. Many lawyers give a free consultation and this should be the kind of thing that could be answered with one. Use the yellow pages online, or the real one if you can find one, and call around to lawyers to ask for a free consultation. Then ask what your rights as her landlord are in this situation. It is a landlord=tenant situation, basically, so that is what you need to know. It would only get expensive if she sued for her stuff after you got rid of it. If you are in doubt, you could get a cheap storage unit in her name, pay for a couple of months, and give her the keys. Tell her that after those months expire, you won't be paying for it. She will either have to find the money to pay for the unit, or move her stuff, or they will sell her stuff. It will be up to her. Depending on the amount of stuff, storage units are maybe $40-$100 a month, and many places run specials if you pay for several months at once, so you could maybe get a small unit and do several months for $100. That way her stuff would be safe for her for 2-3 months, and out of your dad's house. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
