If our 20 year old grandson lives with us but we want him out, how do we go about that?
He does not work and does not contribute in any way. All he does is give us grief. He goes out at night and sleeps all day. He eats all our food and then complains about it. He teases his younger brother constantly; the poor kid (5 year old) now stutters because he is so nervous. Also, he picks on us and picks on the dog. We want him out but he will not go. He does have a father and friends but does not want to go there. Why would he since he has all he needs here without paying for a thing. How can we get him out?

If he doesn't pay rent, he's not a tenant--he's a guest. You can ask a guest to leave at any time, for any reason. If he doesn't leave when you tell him too, you can then file what's called an "ejectment" action--basically, eviction for nontenants--in court and get a court order for a court officer or law enforcement official to remove him. Ejectment actions can be slightly complex--they are very "formal" in terms of requirements--so you are advised to retain an attorney to help you. Having a lawyer will also give you some space or distance from the grandson, and make the action a least slightly less personal.
