QUESTION
Is my step dad allowed to kick us out of his house?
Asked on Feb 14th, 2016 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
Me, my mother, and my sister have been trying to find rent to move out of his house. If we talk to him about the problems in the house, there's a possibility he'll get mad and demand to kick us out. Me and my sister are underage, if he kicks us out without giving us any money or anywhere to go, is it legal?

Someone needs to get an attorney. How can we say whether something is legal without knowing a lot more of the facts involved?

The answer to your question is not so cut and dry. Generally, if your mom and step-dad are legally married, then she lives there too and can allow you to stay there too, even if your step-dad tries to kick you and your sister out, or all three of you. But is sounds like there are bigger issues involved, and if family therapy or counseling is not an option, then your mother should see an attorney to discuss the specifics of the situation and her options.
