Sounds like she is nothing more than a roommate . She has no special rights other than mere possession. Your son can evict her but he may need to take her to court to do it. The fact that they have a child would only matter to the extent that he might be required to,pay support- but not otherwise. Your son should consult a local attorney to determine the best way to proceed.
