    Looking for some info please. My female friend is in a relationship with her boyfriend and they have a 1 year old son. They live in a rented house with her parents. The lease for house is in her mother's name. Her boyfriend is drinking and gambling and being verbally abusive to her. She has had enough of the relationship and wants to split up and have him leave the property. How would she go about this and what rights does she have as the boyfriend refuses to leave. Any help much appreciated.

    Contact Women's Aid for advice.

    Is there a way she could engage his family and friends for support? It is difficult, as she will want to keep the situation as calm as possible. Unless he deserts his child, she will be dealing with him in some capacity for the next 20 years. She will need to facilitate ongoing access to the child.

    However, he has no rights to live in the house, and sounds potentially dangerous. Women's aid may provide some advice on this, or a garda community liaison officer.

    Either call the guards, go to court and get a barring order against him , go to women's refuge. This is her mother's house so he should just feck off but make sure not to say too much legal action against him as he may torch the house if he's that way inclined which I really hope he isn't

    As above women's aid. Citizens advice might be able to help. If the abuse escalates go straight to the guards.

    She is getting support from us all but that's all we can give. We can't force the guy to leave. I think Womens Aid is her best bet.

    If he's not named on the lease, he has no right to stay in the property. If he's told to leave and doesn't, give the gardai a call.

    Is he working?

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.
