Help Please! I Need the Legalities of Kicking Out My 22 Y/O Drug Using Son in Ohio?
Question by Miss Libby: Help Please! I need the legalities of kicking out my 22 Y/O drug using son in Ohio?
The cops have told us we have to give him an eviction notice, which is INSANE to me. He does nothing to help out and threatens everyone who stands in his way ( and I’m not talking about pot, I could deal with that )

I grew up in Indiana. Start conversation with this one and let it end in a fight. You will win and the law will be on your side. I raised 5 and never had one knock me down. luv ser
Even if you “legally” have to evict your son, do you really think he would have the funds and wherewith all to find a lawyer to take on the case?
Assuming you and your husband are both fed up with your son’s actions (or inactions), you should both sit him down tomorrow morning and tell him to leave. Then walk into his room with boxes and pack up whatever items you’ll let him take. Then escort him out.
Oh, get his keyring and take back your keys so you don’t have to go to the expense of changing the locks! Remind him to put a change of address form in at the Post Office also!!
It’s tough for parents to have to do this, but you’ve already put up with lots from him. Then tell your hubby he’s treating you to dinner tomorrow night even if it’s having a pizza delivered.
If you want to go the formal eviction route, lock up and hide any valuables (not just monetary) that you still have out. Then contact the Hamilton County Housing court on Monday for eviction forms and proceed. You wouldn’t need to hire a lawyer for this. But there’s no sense you putting up with him any longer. Assure him that he’s welcome to call and visit when he gets straightened out and that you’ll always love him since he’s your son but you certainly don’t love his actions.
Look up Ohio Landlord Tenant laws if you want more info about evicting him in Ohio.
Best of luck with this, Libby!
I feel your pain, and you have to do the “tough love” thing, but start here:

in ohio law on criminal trespass it is an essential element of the crime that the offender knows he is in violation of the law, ie, trespassing. since you son is a relative, and probably lived in your home with your permission at some point, it is essential that you give your son a clear, consistent notice that he no longer lives there and does not have permission to enter your home. have you taken away his house key? have you removed all of his belongings from the home? are both parents (owner of home) in agreement about making clear the boy no longer lives there? if boy has key, it might be helpful if you changed locks to home, ensuring first that boy would not and could not get access to new key. domestic situations are always difficult for cops, who can’t be sure they haven’t simply been drug into the middle of a family fight that will be resolved with hugs and kisses the next day. you don’t have to give your son a written eviction notice–verbal notice is ok. throw his stuff out on streets (tell him you will or have done it so he can safely retrieve) i wonder if you are physically afraid of your son. have there been physical fights? if so, that could change his criminal trespass offense to aggravated criminal trespass.
