Re: How do I get a friend out of my house??

I just told the lady what to do: lock the batard out and get her
a man to be her "enforcer" if the batard came back and would not
leave. No law in the world is going to let some rotten son of a
butch abuse a woman. Listen to me gal, not these other
advisers. Better still, Call Bryan in Manhattan and talk to
him. He's the New York lawyer.

Good luck!
