Nomad,
I am just now catching up. I had to google "Is my state a squatters state." I knew it was, as I had to evict my own brother 25 years ago. He was a drunk and wouldn't leave. He was only with us for 2 days. We had to formally evict him, which wasn't cheap. He knew his "rights". Years later he got drunk and threatened me and my husband. They fought and my husband went to jail for family violence on Christmas Eve. They left my brother there with me. He was drunk and I was pregnant and had 3 other kids in the home. I waited until he went outside to smoke a cigarette and locked him out. He threw lawn chairs up against my windows and broke them. I continued to call the police until they arrested him four hours later. My husband has never even been in a fight with anyone, not even as a kid. That night made a lightbulb go off in my head. After I had the baby, I applied for the police department and was hired. I wanted to be an insider to the insanity of criminal procedure.
These people literally make a living stealing money, lines of credit, homes, and the sanity of hard-working people. I can't believe these laws exist. What kind of sick person writes up a bill to be introduced that victimizes people? I have some research to do for sure. There are only 2 ways that come to mind to get these people out, and only one is legal. So, l would "haunt" them. Everyone is afraid of something. Snakes, spiders, scorpions, religious revival on the porch, ghosts...
I'm so mad right now. I care about you and your family and am praying fervently for a healthy outcome. The law is definitely on their side. Please practice self-care, this is devastating. It probably doesn't seem like it right now, but this WILL pass, they WILL get out and in short order, be back in jail, where they belong!
