How to kick grown children out of house?
I have grown children in my home who are in their 20s and 30s who are disrespectful, antagonize me, and don't contribute to household expenses or food. They ***** and moan about living here but refuse to move out. How do I kick them out? Has anyone tried to do the same thing without things getting violent or being sued by your own children?

Buy a smaller house and move. Tell them they have until the home is sold, that they have to keep their room immaculate for the showing, etc.
If they want to buy the house, they can negotiate at fair market value.

What do you mean, they refuse to move out? Give these people 30 days to vacate the premises. If they do not move after 30 days, start eviction proceedings against them. Since they do not contribute to the household expenses, make no further provisions for them (no cooking, cleaning, or laundry). Once you have given them notice, don't argue with them. If they make you feel uncomfortable in your own home, start a paper trail by registering a complaint against them at your local police station. Best wishes!

My mother actually DID move to a smaller house as a "nice" way of kicking my step brother out.
It worked!!!
And guess what, he survived!!!
Or move to a "retirement community" there are some REALLY nice ones! Or move to a lake house.
Something ridiculously nice yet tiny.
ANother option would be to charge rent, but then raise the rent each year. Along with a chore chart, like maybe $10 off the rent for cleaning the gutters or something. Soon it will be ridiculously obvious that they would save time and money by simply moving out.
I know you can't be a hard you know what or you wouldn't be asking this question!!

Give them written notice to get out. Give them thirty days. At the end of those thirty days, if they are still there, move their stuff into storage and change the locks.
By allowing them to stay there rent free and without any contributions to the household you are enabling them. They will never grow up and take care of themselves because they don't have to. Although they won't be happy, they will eventually realize that what you are doing is for their own good. It is high time they grow up. You won't be around forever to take care of them so they need to learn how to do it themselves.
I have never heard about a mooch suing their parents for kicking them out. It is your home and they are adults. Good luck.

Give them a move out date and stick to it.You have no legal obligation to support them, in fact continuing to do so is bad for them and you. Don't argue with them about it just give them a move out date and stick to it!. Of course you may also have the option of moving out yourself if you are renting by just giving the landlord notice and taking your things and leaving. If they want to stay they can then pick up the tab for all expenses themselves. (just be sure your name is no longer on the lease or utilities.) If you have a phone have it disconnected now and get a personal cell phone.

Stop enabling them!!! Of course they wont move out!! You are still giving them what they want!! At some age, birdies gotta fly!!My advice is to tell them they ALL have 30 days to find a new nest, your life is your own now, You've done your job, and now it is YOUR turn to live. Then change the locks, and live your life....too many kids think they are owed this crap by their parents--and they aren't, And then to have to put up with this abuse?? No way!

At this point there are only two things you can do. File for eviction notices and restraining orders, which would cause serious family problems later, or move into a smaller house and don't invite them.

If they get violent call 911. If they have broken things on your property and you are fearful, you could probably get a restraining order. They really can't sue you - they're intimidating you. If you are fearful they will mistreat you, then contact a local counseling service or social services to deal with these issues. Things get very complicated and unpredictable *if* they are using drugs or are prone to violence.

Sue you for living at home-no rent or money to help out. Give them a dead line-help them pack if necessary but send them packing. You have caused your own problems now its time to take control and to heck with the moaning- just do it.Kick them out!!!!

Haha give them a heads up and tell them that they need to start looking for a place.
My parents are opposite, my parents WISH I would live with them until I'm married!
