Eviction by significant other

Evict her ass!

She must serve you an eviction notice and then you have 30 days from the date you are served.

An eviction can be as quickly as 14 days START to FINISH depending on the county.

FIRST she must go to the courthouse and file the dispossessory complaint and pay the fee $100-$200 depending on the county. In this paperwork she MUST give a reason for wanting you out i.e., non payment of rent, failure to vacate after notice, failure to comply with rental agreement, creating a hostile environment, etc...

SECOND you will be served the complaint by the Sheriff's office (sometimes by mail). This can take anywhere between 24 hours to 7 days depending on the county.

YOU will have 7 to 10 days from the date you are served to file an answer to the complaint at the courthouse.
You can buy yourself more time by stating in your answer to the complaint that a) you have no lease or rental agreement. b) No acceptable notice to vacate given (this only applies in the absence of a rental agreement where notice of XX days is stated and agreed upon). The default/standard is 30 days notice to vacate.

Once you have filed your answer you will be given a hearing date. Sometimes this date can be given at the time you file your answer or by mail taking several days. The hearing date could be set for a few days out or a few weeks out depending on the county calendar.

You will then go to the hearing and explain your side of the story to a judge who WILL rule in her favor (99%). The judge could also rule that YOU reimburse her for any legal fees/expenses.
Within 24 to 48 hours after the ruling the Sheriff's Office will arrive at the residence to put you and your stuff on the curb.

In the event the judge rules in your favor, you may be allowed to remain for 30 to 60 days.This would be considered to be your notice to vacate. It is also possible that the judge sets an amount of rent to be paid by you for the 30-60 days. During this time, she can not change locks, disrupt utilities or services or harass you.

IF the judge orders that you have 30-60 days to vacate and at the end of that time you do not vacate, SHE will have to start the eviction process over and file a dispossessory complaint and pay the fee stating that you failed to vacate after being given notice. You could then stretch it out another 14-25 days.

Depending on how quickly the county acts and the Court calendar and available resources for service, and how long you wait to answer an eviction COULD stretch out to 30-40 days but is doubtful. In my experience almost all have been completed within 14 to 25 days.

She took bank cards from my wallet, not sure what I'm gonna do, can't afford a lawyer.Probably going to sell off a few guns.

I can tell you first hand this whole eviction thing isn't the worst of your worries. All it takes is for her to lawyer up, file a motion (or what ever its called) with a judge that she feels un-safe and fears you might do something and you will be out of the house with nothing but a bag of clothes. You can not take anything else, no guns, no boat , no what ever.
It happened to me and while it was complete BS I still had to wait for a court date to plead my case (which was 30 days away). Of course once I got to court the judge said it was BS, threw it out and let me back in the house but it gave her time to clean it all out.

OP, you're a grown man and have to make your own choices, but seriously the longer you stay in that house the odds go up that something very bad is going to happen.
So she's getting some money in a couple of weeks....if that's the only reason you are still there then I lost any sympathy I had for you, and I've been in a hostile marriage and we had children together and a house in both our names. If I had been given the chance to take my sons and walk away and start over with nothing I would have packed them up in the middle of the night and driven back to GA and never looked back.

Get your tools and guns and car title and hit the road

Find a friend with a safe and store your guns

Rent a storage unit

Couch surf if you have to
But get out before you get arrested

All
She has to do is call and say you threatened her and you are in jail

And if she reads posts on ODT, she's getting lots of ideas tonight.
