Asking a visitor to leave my home

shanetv175

I asked my sister in law to leave my home the other night she was visiting her sister according to the garda I can not make her leave or stop calling ?

Is her sister your wife?

If so, yes, you cannot ask her to leave. It is not just your house.

If the sister she was visiting is not your wife, then just throw the two of them out.

You shouldn't have let her in

Rescind your invitation. It worked in True Blood, it should work with your sister in law.

The problem is the degree to which the legal system and the criminal system can beneficially, meaningfully and credibly get involved in citizens' domestic living arrangements.

Going back about 10-15 years with this story, but a friend of my sister called to our house before. Was drunk and was giving out. We'd normally get on okay but things went sour fast. Told her to get the fcuk out and she wouldn't budge. Tried to lift her out of a chair and she was having none of it.

Called the Gardai and explained she was trespassing and wouldn't leave. Squad car arrived with 3 Gardai about 15-20 mins later, they dragged her out of the house into the squad car and we heard no more.


I dunno if she had been known to the Gardai (she was a bit of a scummer in fairness) but that's what happened. So I'd imagine the Gardai are well within their remit to assist in this situation.


Slightly off topic side point, but it's probably the most effective I've ever seen the Gardai in my area. First time ever really needing to call them and they were something to be proud of. There was no bullsh*t or messing about, it was just in, clarify the situation and forcibly remove her. I wish every time i needed to call the Gardai in my life, for whatever reason, they were so proactive. They were in and out in 5 mins.

If your sister in law is your wife's sister do you really want all the agro coming your way?

If you live with your wife and the sister in law was there on the wife's invitation (and the invitation wasn't withdrawn), there is little you can do.

If there was no invitation or it was withdrawn, you should be able to remove her.

Stopping her calling would depend on the behaviour being a nuisance and some sort of order / notice to prohibit her calling.

Married couples usually have joint ownership of their properties.

Ask the solicitor who conveyed the house to you.

If its a family home, you probably are restricted doing certain things with the house without your wife permitting it.

Trespassing is not a domestic affair.

For something to be 'domestic', the person usually needs to live there. The Garda will tend to become involved if there is a risk of violence.
