Locked: Help needed (can I legally stay in house owned by both parents when one parent wants to kick me out?)

How old are you? I think it would be selfish for you to create a rift between your parents like this. Don't put your mom in that position. It's also pretty disrespectful to your dad. Either, use this as opportunity to go out on your own or at least give your dad time to cool down and try to make things right, I'm thinking an genuine apology is a good starting point. Either way, sounds like it's time for you to grow up.

I am 30.

If I can't find a place, should I go for homeless shelter?

I am currently on EI and my EI runs out in September.

Uhhhhh make things better. Give it some time for dad to cool down.

I think your focus should be a) repairing your relationship with your dad b) finding a job. You will have a hard time finding a place if you're on EI.

Your parents can divorce, women get the house and Father pays alibi for you and your mom.

You Win !

Obviously there isn't enough of the full story ie your dad's reason for kicking you out.
As a father myself, if my son is 30, still at home and on EI I probably would be pretty frustrated with you too.
Since you seem not to have 2 nickels to rub together if you are considering a homeless shelter I would suggest you find a solution to your problem with your dad.

Did you contribute to the family? Paying money maybe not easy since you are on EI but have you at least help out doing the house work?s Cutting the lawn, remove the snow on the driveway, vacuum at home, wash the dishes, etc.

I can understand your dad's frustration if you are 30 years old, living with parents, getting EI and Not helping out the family in anyway but just live there like a little boy.

Find a job (even one paying minimum wage is fine), be a responsible man. When you get pay, give some money to your mom and dad to help pay some bills, bring some food home. Help out doing family works.

If you do this, I doubt your dad will still kick you out unless there are some other inside stories that you haven't tell us.

STOP thinking rather it is legal for me to live there when mom has half of the ownership of the house and she let me stay. Don't be a loser. You are 30 years old man, not a 13 yrs old boy.

So, answer me one thing.

Can my mom (a co-owner with 50% ownership) allow me to stay legally?

This is a legal question. Thanks.

Don't expect a legal answer from anyone but a lawyer.

Of course she can, but to what end? Who is the dominant in the house, is your mom going to fight against your dad? Then what, you get to stay...are you going to go back to living like the Cleavers?
I'm starting to understand why your dad is kicking you out. You still haven't given a reason of why he wants to kick you out which leads me (and probably others) to think that he wants you out because you aren't being a productive adult.

That's the answer (bolded) I was looking for.

The reason why he wants to kick me out is because we had a heated argument and he didn't like the things I said to him.

I suspect she can, as she has equal rights to your father. How this all rolls out is another story. This has the possibility to get ugly quickly. You don't have any legal rights as an occupant other than that granted by your mother, and your father has equal standing as your mother. So if he wants to take the door off your room or put a lock on it (as examples), he can do probably do that. She can take the lock off, but then that's just going to be a fight between them. Your best bet is to find another solution elsewhere, or work on your relationship with your father. IMHO.

Not a lawyer, I can’t even imagine a lawyer answering, but you can call. I have no idea if it’s legal or not. However, let’s look at the practicality or what’s involved.

Let’s ASSUME (don’t know for sure) it is legal. This would be a civil case. So, it’s not that your can call the police to tell your dad you are allowed to stay. So to make it’s legally enforceable, your mom will need to file a legal case against your dad. So she will need a lawyer, and your dad will need a lawyer. The lawyers will argue it out at the cost to both of your parents. Then if it’s settled, then they are lucky, it will probably just be in the thousand of dollars. If not, and your mom and dad really want to fight and drag it out, then it goes to court which will cost more. Let’s ASSUME that your mom wins, then the judge will decide or it will be what was settled/negotiated. Then your parents are going to have live together in the aftermath with you.

If you are willing to do this with your parents, it would be almost as if you are starting a divorce you will have definitely started the path. So before you look if something is ‘legal’ or not, consider this is family and if you have to resort to the legalities, there is something wrong. It would be easier to hire a counsellor or mediator to help your family work it through this. Alternatively, if your mom still wants to be married to your dad, then they could just give you the money for lawyers to move out .

Ask yourself, How you think taking ANY a legal action against family will ever work out in the long term

Good news, guys.

Things have cooled down between me and my dad. He has allowed me to stay. So, this thread can now be closed.

I told ya so I told ya!

I hope you eventually learn something valuable from all this because right now all you have shown the rest of us is that you were willing to risk your parents' relationship and disrespect your father, which you don't seem to care about - didn't even faze you. You seem like a really selfish brat, I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am. You need to grow up. Starting looking for a job and then a place to live, don't use this as an excuse to stay.
