My brother lives with my parents (73 & 80 years old) in Virginia and has no rental agreement nor does he contribute rent. He got married 2 years ago and his wife moved in as well. After marriage, we discovered she has serious mental health issues. She's a hoarder as well as bipolar. She goes through an ongoing cycle of being manic, sleeping and then normal. She has never worked since moving in nor has she contributed financially.
She drained their bank account last week and left the home with several suitcases. We know she was been staying with various people and is now trying to find a way back.
My brother would like to get a divorce at this point and I know that is a whole different issue. My concern is with my parents and the havoc she creates in the their home. Does she have any legal rights to stay at my parents home? If she does, does that go away after being gone for a certain amount of time? Any guidance would be appreciated. I have tried to look through Va laws and can't seem to find clear guidance on this situation.
