I gave my childs father a place to live but he isn't trying to better himself: Advice?

If his name is not on the lease or mortgage then you can have the police remove him. But if your still legally married nothing they can do. He’s playing the victim and your enabling him. Plus probably confusing the children….do what’s best for YOU and your CHILDREN

Just kick him out. Tell him with the lil $ he getting rent a room at a hotel.
You aren’t his mother. He has to get up and adult up again. Do better for his kid.

I’d say start off by not giving him a choice. Tell him to get a job and you pick a specific date for him to move out. Don’t let him pick the date because he’ll keep changing it. When that day comes it’s nobody’s fault but his own. Coming from a person who also gets to emotionally involved. And there’s got to be another person he can go a feed off of other than you so really don’t feel to bad about it. He made his choice on his own.

Pregnant!!! Seriously?

he is trying to use your empathy to make you feel guilty for what he has done with his life. dont feel bad he is a grown man responsible for his own life. tell him he has to go and good luck. it sounds like you will have a fight on your hands. that will help you to not feel so sympathetic.

He’s not paying rent or in anyway helping financially. Call the police and have them escort him out. He can go to a shelter or a VA facility that can help him. The VA can help him better than you.

Kick him to the curb. You don’t need someone else to take care of.

Get him out now. In many states he may already be considered a legal resident of the home and you will have to give him a formal 30 notice to vacate. If he refuses it’s a civil matter (ie the police can’t make him leave) and you will have to go to court.

if he has VA income, depending on his rating, they will help him with housing. Tell him to call the local VA and get ahold of a social worker.

if you guys are married or he is on the lease, I don’t know what you can do to get rid of him. Otherwise look into what you have to do to legally evict him and never ever make that same mistake again. You know what he is. He’s your ex for a reason.

If helping him isn’t actually helping then you need to stop. It’s turning into enabling.

As heartbreaking as it sounds like it will be for you. He needs to go. Not just for you and your kids, but for him too.

Get him TF out of your place and NEVER look back!!

I’m not surprised he lost his shit on you. Sounds like he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing and he’s taking advantage of the fact that you don’t want to throw him out. Making a plan is a reasonable offer and he’s the one being unreasonable. You’re right about enabling him.
I’d suggest following through. Give him a decent amount of time to find a job and if he doesn’t make an effort then he’s sol and it will be HIS fault NOT yours. Write down what you agree to. Or write out a “lease” and get him to sign it.
Then get him to start paying rent. Which if you want u can save some of like you do for your adult children and help him with first months rent. Lol make sure he stays out.
You should also never make his food or do his laundry or cleaning. He’s not working he should be cleaning and cooking and not be getting himself comfortable.

He’s trying to manipulate you he gives you all these excuses oh now you wanna throw me out if he gave a damn at all he would’ve shown to you he would walk to work for his family there are so many jobs it’s ridiculous pack his clothes call the landlord and tell them Do not enable himhe will not leave I hope he is not on your lease if he is you’ll have to get a 30 day infection maybe

My ex used to do this to me. Ur sanity is more important. Stop enabeling him

The police cant make him leave because you let him live there…serve him with eviction papers

Kick the dude out, he isnt making any effort, get his stuff thrown out onto the street and let him know where to pick it up, warn him if eh tries to cause problems you WILL call the police, because you gave him plenty of time and hes not leaving or even attempting

He’s playing with your heart strings, letting him back in was not a good idea, now he will get your children on his side and make you feel worse about yourself. Either kick him out or reside to the fact he will be a long standing non paying guest in your home that you are responsible for

You have to go to the court house and file a 30 day eviction notice. The police won’t even go to just take him out. And if gets mail there he pretty much is a resident there. Good luck!

Ur prego everything is going 2 make u feel 3x worse than u need to. U know what u need 2 do. If he’s on a fixed income that means he can afford a place just needs 2 be within that income. There’s no excuse 4 him not being able 2 get a job past or not plenty of places hire convicts or whatever the case maybe. Even if he’s flippin burgers it’s a start. Go 2 the police and say u have a squatter in the house. No rental agreement means the court really isn’t going 2 do anything. But police will escort him off the property

Do a little research on local services for the homeless and provide him with the information. Salvation army is a good resource. You have given him 6 weeks. Tell him it is time to leave and give him directions to a local shelter. He is taking advantage of you and you are teaching your children how to be a doormat.

He needs help but probably not the kind you can give him. Do what you have to do put your children first but see if you can help him find the help he needs. I only say that bc he is your child’s father and in helping him you are essentially helping your child see compassion. I’m not suggesting you coddle him in not doing for himself he’s a grown man and if he’s capable of doing better he should. Sometimes people get bogged down mentally in life and need help and most self destruct bc it’s not easy to admit you need help and it’s scary to be vulnerable.

Eviction is about the only way to get rid of him.

Cut him off…The VA has a housing program for homeless vets… Don’t forget he got evicted and is putting a burden on you and your children…he should be grateful that you even helped him and be trying to help himself…if you’re renting you could always say the landlord said he needs to go since he isn’t on the lease…there are literally jobs everywhere

Give him a list of homeless shelters in your area and tell him you can no longer provide for him your lease states that guests are only allowed to stay up to 30 days. The landlord says you gotta go. Say your pregnant work your ass off and a homeless shelter will make you do the same as well. If he wants free low income VA fixed income housing he needs to get a list and wait it out in a shelter not off of your back. Just flat out tell him that. If it gets ugly tell him you will get a restraining order to get him out of the house.

Here’s the thing everywhere is hiring right now and I mean everywhere. It seems to me he’s making excuses and is more then comfortable with you taking care of him. Even with a bad back round I mean aside from theft or murder places are taking anyone they can find because they are so short staffed it’s insane. The thing is someone like that wants to be taken care of and not have to worry about anything. I feel the best you can do for you and himself is get him out. He’s either going to realize he needs to do and be better or he’s going to continue to make others feel bad for him so he can be taken care of.

Kick him out and let him stand on his own two feet… by the sounds of him he is taking advantage and using your kindness for weakness…
how will he learn to do things by himself if he has enablers around letting him get away with being lazy.
If you don’t make a move now to get him out, he will stay as long as he could and get comfortable with just using you…

Your doing life for you and your kids not a grown ass lazy man.

Good luck. :heart:

Tell him he’s got 24 hours to move out, if he doesn’t do it, call the police

In most states, after three days, he lives there. Do NOT let him give your address as his address.Talk to your local police and find out what the laws are in your area. You may have to go to court and file eviction papers so the law will put him out. And as soon as he is gone, change the locks on all of your doors. Or at least have the tumblers changed on the locks. Even if you only let him use a key once, because he may have had a key made. Also, once he is out of the house, may sure all of your windows are locked. Just in case he unlocked some windows in order to get in when you are not home. Do not wait. Go Monday.

How about you tell him he had X number of days to find a place, period. If he’s there more than 30 days or he begins to get mail, you won’t be able to make him leave. Why turn this into a legal issue if you don’t have too.

You’ll be unhappy when he’s not around. Just let him be while you try and support him as much as you can…as long as he isn’t a troublemaker. Probably a bad phase…I believe.
Anyways…you’ve got to weigh the pros and cons to make the right decision

Lack of planning on his part does not constitute an emergency on your part. He needs to grow up n be an adult, responsible for his own issues. He has a deadline. Stick to it, and after the deadline it’s time for him to go, whether he has solved his issues or not. This is NOT your problem.

Hell even chicken factory’s everyone is hiring
Even a sign on bonus. MAKE HIM DO IT. SIT RIGHT BESIDE HIM PULL OUT A LAPTOP AND DO APPLICATIONS. HE NEEDS A KICK IN THE ASS TO GET HIM BACK RIGHT

First off, do not let a grown man who is able to do for himself make you feel guilty. I just took my ex off the lease on friday because he thinks his discipline is okay for my kids. He wants to come “back home”. Look, if your ex isn’t on the lease at your apartment or house and you try to get him to leave and he refuses, call the cops. Get a reference number for court and move on. We shouldn’t have to tell you that he is using you and blah blah blah. Your hormones are crazy (mine are too as im currently pregnant) and you felt obligated (which you absolutely DONT). so text everything between yall, no calls, so then you have proof that you have provided hospitality for your ex and that he was given plenty of time to get himself together.

Do it now before he has the damn “renters rights” bullsheit. You are completely and totally right. You are only hindering him. He knows exactly what he’s doing btw. Until he finds someone else to use he will continue using YOU. Stop it Now!

He is a grown man and he does have at least some sort of income so he needs to find his own way and that means he does it in a shelter then so be it. You’re going to have to have him legally served at this point and that will take time so don’t wait any longer to get it started and stop providing him with anything other than the roof he is already taking advantage of.
