We moved him and his two children into my house with my child in November the wedding was planned for June it now about three weeks away and I found a text which he explained away but, now I found pics of various body parts and that's about enough. There's no point in a wedding now and I want them to leave. What is the law? I know that it would be best for everyone if this happens as quickly as possible.
You want quick, you offer him cash to vacate.
You negotiate a price, but to receive the cash, he has to be out within 48 hours.
For example, let's say you agree upon $1,000 to be out within 48 hours.
If he's 1 hour late, he gets $900, and so on.
He doesn't get the cash until he's completely off your property and his stuff is gone, too.
He signs a receipt which restates the agreement, and holds you harmless for his voluntary departure.
You can agree upon your details, but no cash until he and his crap are gone.
You could offer to pay his storage fees for 30 days, too.
These arrangements are personalized to suit the parties involved.
The other LEGAL option is evict him.
Read on for how that's done in your state:

New Hampshire has a special process for eviction. No landlord can lawfully evict a tenant without following the steps set out by state law (RSA 540). A tenant can be evicted for violating the lease. If the tenant has no written lease, she or he can be evicted for a variety of reasons. In New Hampshire, tenants renting part of a privately owned and owner-occupied home can be evicted for almost any reason.
In New Hampshire, there are five "good" causes for eviction:
Failure to pay the rent;
Substantial damage to the premises;
Behavior that affects the health and safety of others;
Violation of the lease;
Other good cause.
"Other good cause" may include legitimate business reasons of the landlord. If, however, the "other" cause is something that the tenant did or did not do, then the landlord must first give the tenant a written warning that in the future the action or inaction will be grounds for eviction.
The tenant can reverse the order for eviction in the first three causes by "remedying" the situation, that is, paying the rent, repairing the damage, and so forth.
A landlord can legally evict a tenant only by sending a written notice to the tenant. This written notice must be in the form of a "written notice to quit or leave" which is a legal document. Eviction for not paying rent, damages to the property or danger to the health or safety of others require seven days' notice. All other grounds for eviction require 30 days' notice.
In the case where a tenant has not paid rent, the landlord must make a written demand for payment of the money before issuing the notice-to-quit. The notice-to-quit for nonpayment of rent must explain the tenant's right to defeat eviction by paying the rent owed plus $15 before the last day of the notice-to-quit (RSA 540:3, IV). If the payment is made, then eviction for nonpayment of rent is no longer possible (RSA 540:2-5, 9). However, tenants can only avoid eviction by "curing nonpayment" three times during one calendar year.
The landlord may NOT break into the dwelling, may NOT move a tenant's belongings out, and may NOT turn off the heat and utilities. The sheriff is the only person who may remove property from the premises and this can be done only after the landlord has been awarded a court judgment called a "writ of possession" (RSA 540-A:3, III-IV).
A landlord cannot evict a tenant for reporting a building or housing code violation to the authorities, lawfully withholding rent, filing a complaint in court asking for an order to stop certain practices, or meeting with or organizing other tenants (RSA 540:13-A).
