Can my dad kick me out in 2 days? (rent, health insurance)

[KRKS]

My dad and I had an argument on Thursday. He was getting upset while I stayed relatively level headed. He said I was being too sensitive and I argued that he wasn't being sensitive enough. He had just said that every thought I have is selfish and I disagreed. He slapped me in the face (not a common occurance, only one other time in my life a few months back has he hit me and that ended with a minor concussion) and I told him he shouldn't hit me. He slapped me again, and once again I told him that it is not his right to physically harm me. He told me that if I back talk he will slap again.

Anyhow, he posted a topic on Facebook the next day about how a parent can smack their child accross the face. The comments section became heated with multiple people defending their position and he said " I hope to never need to slap her" (referring to me, his 22 year old daughter) and I corrected him saying that he should change his message to " I hope to never need to slap her again". I didn't like that he implied that it had never happened and he was upset for being called out.

Eventually I was told that he is kicking me out and I have until Monday when he gets home from work to remove all of my possessions from his home or he will call a junk collector to pick it up.

I am OK with moving out and should have sooner rather than accept abuse but only having 2 days puts me in a bind and I don't think I can remove my items by then. Is there anything legally I can use to give myself more time? If I had until Friday I'm sure I could be done.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

P.S. I don't want to get him into any legal trouble (if I wanted that I have plenty of other things I could bring to attention), I just need time to move my things.

Since you're 22, you probably don't have any legal recourse, unless you want to call the police and press charges about him hitting you. That might gain you some time if they haul him off to jail.

Do you have some friends or co-workers who could help you pack?

I think he needs to give you longer since you have been living there with is OK. Just be super polite and ask for a longer time.

It is too bad your generation and maybe two before yours have been taught all about "YOUR RIGHTS" during your school years and nothing about RESPONSIBILITIES. One Bible verse says something about spare the rod, spoil the child. You missy are the perfect example of that verse.

Also another example of the evil Facebook can create.

Are you paying any rent? If so, you have to same right to proper notice that any other tenant would have.

And you may have that right even without rent if you have lived there long term with his approval. That aspect of Kansas law should be a fairly simple web search. Or you could check with the police - they would know.

You should be packing instead of being on a public forum.

Any legal questions you have you need to ask an attorney, no one on this forum can give you legal advice.
Do some research on your own, contact an attorney, call the police or just pack your things and move.

You can judge this woman based on one post on C-D? Quit playing God. She stated she remained calm in the face of a heated argument. There is absolutely ZERO justification for striking a loved one unless it is in self-defense.

Why is it that Christian fundamentalists must swim in an Iron Age sea? Believing the Bible to be the literally perfect word of God, people like you sanctify fragments of culture from a time when our ancestors had yet to discover the spinning wheel or the simple lifesaving power of hand-washing.

When people elevate the bible on a pedestal, they lose their ability to think. Parents—meaning fathers—are elevated to the top of an ancient hierarchy in which position is power and might makes right. No thanks...not a world I want to live in.

I don't know the OP's back story but if her dad did hit/slap her (and this applies even more so if this is a regular occurrence), I would definitely look at moving out and perhaps cutting off all contact with him since it sound's like he is mentally unstable. There are plenty of domestic violence shelters that would probably take you in temporarily.

No he cannot just kick you out because legally you are protected because you are a tenant regardless of whether or not you pay rent (look up landlord/tenant laws in your state). You have to be evicted so you are entitled to some notice, 30 days for most states. My kids have had friends staying with us for short periods of time after arguments with parents and a friend of mine who is a lawyer warned me that if my guests are at my house too long then I won't be able to just ask them to leave. Do you have health insurance coverage under a parent's plan? They may be required to continue covering you even if you are not enrolled in school. I am not sure how Obama are works.

I'm sure everything that followed that is completely truthful and contains no self-serving characterizations. Right?

Also, you did go to the ER after the previous fracas and was diagnosed with a concussion -- right? Then you filed a police report, just as you did every time for the "plenty of other things" you're hinting you could accuse him of.

Right?
