Hi,
My wife and I separated in January '15. I bought a house in March '15 (completely in my name with my only my personal funds). In June we reconciled and she moved in with her 16 yr old daughter. Apparently while separated, my wife and her daughter developed marijuana habits. My wife now takes her daughter to make buys, and they smoke together in the house. Additionally, her dealer makes occasional visits to the house when I am not around; they all sit and 'party' together. Alcohol has played its part in these get-togethers, but whether drugs or alcohol, its always my wife buying to supply her daughter and her daughter's teenage friends. The arguments have been endless as she feels it is her right to decide whether or not her daughter can use drugs.
Considering NY's social hosting laws, I am worried about my exposure since I seem to have no control over this situation. The police have told me I cant remove them from my home.
What is my risk with these activities happening on my property? How can I legally force them out of the house to put an end to these activities?
Any advice, even just leads to where I can conduct more research, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
