How to evict a relative?
My husband and I moved in with my mother 6 years ago. We have 4 children together. My mother was gravely ill and needed assistance. Since then she has recovered. My husband has always been verbally abusive and early on in our relationship physically abusive. For the last 9 months things have really heated up with the verbal abuse. At times I wonder will it become physical. We (my mother and I) tried to get him removed but because he has lived here for so long, he is now considered a tenant. I have offered him money to leave (I am sure my father would help), he refuses to leave. What are the steps I need to take to get him out of my mother’s home?

From what you have written, you might consider retaining a family law attorney to obtain a restraining order against your husband where for all intents and purposes if the petition is granted, he would be evicted from the unit that you reside in.
That seems to be the best course for you to proceed. Pending the petition for the restraining order, your mother can have a thirty (30) day eviction notice served upon your husband to vacate the place where you are staying. I suggest that your mother consult with a landlord tenant attorney
