Answer: To remove this person from your house, you will need to go through the eviction process unless she commits another assault. In that case, you could seek a personal protection order, which would require her to leave the premises and stay away from you immediately. Generally, though, the eviction process involves serving her with papers that demand she move out within 30 days. If she doesn’t comply, you would then take her to court to obtain a formal eviction order.
In the meantime, living with someone abusive is challenging. Your best course of action would be to contact Adult Protective Services, report the pepper spray incident, and seek their assistance in addressing the situation.
