How do I kick my sociopath out?
I've done a lot of reading on sociopaths and I'm pretty sure (about 99.9%) that my fiance is one. Thing is that I don't want to be in this relationship anymore if he is and I'm not real sure how to get him to leave. I would leave but he's already cost me 2 other apartments and since this 3rd one is mine, I'll be staying. He's an alcoholic too which only makes matters worse for me.
At the start of the year he was trying to keep me from going to work and we ended up being late on rent so he sold his car to pay for the rent. Now he blames me. If I tell him to leave he has nothing to drive to get out of here and none of his friends or family will help him either. What is the best way of getting a sociopath to leave? I just know that my situation might not be typical so I don't know how to go about it. Thanks

Depending on your state, this may be different. Google the laws on eviction in whatever state you live in.
Usually though, it goes something like this:
Send a certified letter letting him know that he is here-by evicted and has X amount of days to get out (minimum changes by state, from two weeks to 30 days). Once you've sent the letter, and he's signed for it, just wait for him to get out. When he doesn't (and chances are he won't leave willingly) call the cops. Show them a copy of the letter and tell them what's going on. Ask them to remove him from the property.
If he comes back and bugs you, or harasses you or threatens you, file for a restraining order (and have a few of your big guy friends hang around your place for a bit, just in case.)
Call in for backup, you're going to need it with a sociopath. Buy mace, keep your eyes open when walking to or from the house alone (especially at night). Just be smart about it, you never know when things could get ugly. Breaking up is hard enough, breaking off an engagement is harder. Doing this with/to an alcoholic is even worse. Pack on the eviction and the need for psychiatric help and you have a time bomb on your hands.

If you're the only person on the lease this is a simple call to the police. If you're both on the lease then you'd better sublease and move out on your own. Of course as a woman you have a ridiculous amount of legal protection in cases like these, look up the Violence Against Women Act or VAWA and see if you notice anything you can use. Seeing as how it's been used to destroy the lives of good men on the words of drug addled whores I imagine that it should be more than enough to protect you in any case of genuine danger.

I agree but,if you have a brother or guy friend or friend that can stay with you while you are there and he is in the process of leaving or,who cares if he has a car tell him he needs to leave if he doesn't get the police to remove him and change your locks right away then,try and stay with a friend for a week or so and carry on your life.Best of luck and be safe!

Give him notice. You cannot just throw him out. Find out what is required, give him a written notice so there is a record.
