The child is emancipated if they have graduated from HS, are not in college and not primarily dependent upon you for support, the third issue may not affect you, your problem lies not in the eviction but your husband unwillingness, if he fights you on this, that is the problem. take care.

The only thing that you can do, if she is very abusive, is file a family offense petition in family court and ask for an order of protection and see if you can get removed from the residence. If she is removed and moves in with her mother, your husband may be obligated to pay child support. Any action that you take, may also create further problems between you and your spouse.
