can my father inlaw kick me out w/out notice in GA. if he owns the home but my husband and i have lived here?

Question

we've been married 6 yrs. he's staying @ his parents because of problems between us.He's never let me work and we have a 4 yr old son. can they just put me out?

There is no FREE LOADING! This house was offered to us to live in when we got married.

let me add, I asked my husband, who is physically and emotionally abusive, to stay at his parents until I could figure something out. I have no family.He never wanted me to work so therefore I have no savings. I'm no freeloader as someone suggested, i work very hard raising a family and putting up w/ his crap. I just can't do it anymore, nor can i just leave with no where for us to go.

Answer 1

I don't know about GA but you might want to check into this situation and see if the laws are the same. My mom and dad own a rental unit in MI. Here if a person receives mail at the address they can not just kick them out they actually have to go to court to evict them which usually takes about 30 days. The other thing here is if there are children in the house then it can take up to 60 days. I will see what I can find for you. Also here it is with or without a written lease that if they recieve mail that they must be evicted by a court.

Here's what I found
- In any contract, lease, license agreement, or similar agreement, oral or written, for the use or rental of real property as a dwelling place, a landlord or a tenant may not waive, assign, transfer, or otherwise avoid any of the rights, duties, or remedies contained in the following provisions of law:
§44-7-6
Where no time is specified for the termination of a tenancy, the law construes it to be a tenancy at will.

§44-7-7
Sixty days' notice from the landlord or 30 days' notice from the tenant is necessary to terminate a tenancy at will.

There is a lot more on this page listed I only skimmed and found a few that sound like they apply to you. I would contact an attorney to check but it sounds as though they have to give you 60 to leave even under a verbal agreement to live there.

Answer 2

He has to legally evict you by filing a complaint with the court. Then a judge may grant him the right to eviction but even then in most states that takes at least 30 to 60 days. It doesn't matter if you have a lease or not. If you recieved any bills at that address or your drivers license has that address then you have established residency. That means he can't make you get out without warning. If he does he can be sued.

But he can still make you leave. If your father-in-law plans to throw you out I would see an attorney immediately. If you've never worked you can ask the court for some financial support from your husband for you and your son.

Answer 3

Get a lawyer, this smells of a divorce coming and you need someone on your side. This is only the beginning.

You could, if they love your son, drop him and his clothes off on your way out of town. A little shock therapy might be in order. No place for baby to stay, mom can't take care of baby. Alternatively, you could take the boy and his stuff and disappear. Find some friends, family who live a few hour away. You do have a car, huh? or family with a car?

Answer 4

By law you have the right to stay there. He has to give you notice and good reason for the eviction. This reason has to stand up in a court of law. So be prepared. What is wrong with your pussy husband. This is unacceptable a child is involved. Call social services get them on you side. Daddy will back off then

Answer 5

The issues may involve whether you (or your husband) has paid rent for living in the house and do you have a lease.

There are laws that protect you from immediate eviction. Seek the advice of a lawyer. Your husband should still be responsible for paying your bills at least until a divorce is finalized (if it comes to that.)

Answer 6

They are wrong to do so. But it depends on the situation. Are you not getting along with the parents? Have the parents never like you from the get go? IS the split up your fault? Either way I would dump a man you puts me and his child out of a house.

Answer 7

The eviction process varies from state to state but federal regulations prohibit eviction without due process of law! Your father-in-law has to file for eviction and wait for the process to be aired out in a court of law. Don't let him intimidate you into believing him you have to leave just because he says! Check with your local courthouse to find out what the eviction
process is and what your rights as a tenant are!

Answer 8

Yes, it's your husband's father's home and his father is probably angry that you want nothing to do with his son. Your husband should not be living with his parents, because the home belongs to his father. If you are that unhappy, you should be the one to move out and go live with a friend or a relative. If your son can't go to the same schools, then have your son live with your husband or in-laws. Do you have any friends?? Do you have any neighbors? If you don't have a single person to help you, then there must be something wrong with you and you have to get yourself out of this mess. You can't blame everything on your husband. Get up and move! It's your life, so do something about it! Call the police if you must!

Answer 9

Have you been renting the house or just living there? I don't know the laws in Georgia. I suggest you see an attorney. One more thing, your husband is still responsible for his child. He can't just put him/her out on the street. Yes, get some legal help.

Answer 10

If this guy had a heart he wouldnt of got himself involved in your marital dramas.
Did you sign some kind of agreement or lease?
To be on the safe side, line yourself up somewhere to go, just in case.

Why doesnt your husband say something?
If not for your sake but, for his son?
Get yourself some legal advice, find out where you stand.
