I'm just not sure what you want to change from the current system exactly? Unless it's physically removing the adults from the home as opposed to the kids ...Which is hard because, well, the adults own the house/the lease

Yes. I'm saying the adults leave. If they can't couch surf somewhere, let them overnight in jail until they can make arrangements or rejoin their kids. I wouldn't put them on the street, ofc ;)

Legally it's a really, really big problem to try to involuntarily bar someone from a house they own, and that's likely for the best all told Same with having someone move into your property without your consent

The latter could even be a 3rd Amendment thing, depending on if you see the foster parent as an agent of the state and therefore counting as "troops"

We force an abusive partner to leave the premises for 24 hours currently under DV laws (in CA) and many other states do the same. Obviously the state agent or proxy is another issue but POTATO POTAHTOE ;)

Yeah but there's a reason that's just for 24 hours and not "you get to keep the house"

Unless they get a restraining order. Which can be done.

However I don't know if maintaining payment can be ordered if the partners are unmarried. I know if married, that can be ordered.

One of the key features of marriage as traditionally legally defined is that the spouses share implicit ownership of the "marital home" That's one of the intrinsic protections of marriage (and was once an argument for common law marriage as an institution)

Perhaps that right should also be extended to children who've not yet reached majority

Yeah, but it's a whole can of worms I see the argument now that I think about it that children should get the same consideration as spouses or tenants do re: protection from "eviction" but it's obviously complicated

Yep. And I don't insist on my suggestion, it's rather an off the cuff thought to prompt a 'hmm why don't we do things other ways' At least kids aren't property these days.
