How to appeal an order of eviction... read below?

Question

My mom has been on pain medication &shes been hardcore over-doing it. shes taking way more than they prescribed bc shes become immune to small amounts. My dad put all of her medicine in a bag & her best friend & I took her to the hospital, we showed the doctors the bag and they were stunned. We talked to a specialist and they recommended in-patient treatment. She declined and the drive home was horrible. I stayed with my aunt that night because my mom was freaking out & i thought it would be best if i left, I was getting countless amounts of phone calls from her friends an my aunts telling me whatever I do not to go home. I had to go home last night to switch the cars an she started screamin in my face. I went to call 911 and she hung up the phone, i ran outta the house &called on my cell they arrested her and she cant be in the house for the next 3 days. She filled out a paper to evict me and I want to know how I can fight it. Is there anyway I can get my dad to sign something that ca

Answer 1

How old are you?

If you are an adult, then perhaps it is time to find your own home.  Perhaps you should report Mom to DCS so that they will remove your kid brother from Mom's "care" and relocate him to the care of an aunt or other safer home.

What are your priorities?

* Safety for your 10 year old brother

* Get Mom healthy again

* Place for you to live that is peace & quiet

Actions that might be taken to solve one of your priorities can mess up ability to solve others.

Your Dad can get the judge to "commit" your Mom to involuntary medical treatment (means she gets locked up until she is cured) but this is expensive many ways ... medical expense, legal expense, emotional expense.  Under those circumstances, any eviction notice or anything else initiated by Mom becomes null & void.

Answer 2

Is it NOT her house?

Pack your stuff....the gravy train just ended!

Answer 3

She has a prescription drug problem and is not entirely in control of her mental state.  Go to the police and ask how you can have her committed for evaluation.  Usually it only takes the consenses of TWO qualified physicans to have some one committed to a state facility.  You have to prove she is unable to take care of herself--her additiction to the meds will prove that out.  Also talk to her doctor about the situation as well as your dad.  Her care and concern for the family is a more direct approach to this.  Ask your dad to intervene in the eviction situation by talking up for you.

Answer 4

Sounds like a tuff break but i think the first response might be right. just move out if your 18 or older no big deal gotta get a job maybe a couple at first... its really atractive to be on your own anyways... and dont worry about your brother  because that brother is not your responsibility man you should be sooo happy about this crash on some friends couches to start out if need be. if there is no other place might have to hit up a homeless shelter or church will also help you. dont be a mess your mom sounds like she is the mess maybe after you get established and your on your own you guys can form a friendly relationship again the dust needs to settle is what this sounds like.

Answer 5

You might want to go to Social Services, they will go to your house and see if your mother is fit to take care of your brother. If you are old enough maybe you could get custody of him. If it is your mother's house she can kick you out. Prescription drugs are a very hard addiction to overcome so I don't see your mother quitting any time soon. Does your father approve of what she is doing? Maybe you can convince him into leaving her and taking your brother with him.
