You are in luck my friend. What you need to do is go to the housing court in the area you live and ask to fill out eviction papers. the clerk will help you how to fill it out. You will need to make sure you have a marsahl serve her with the papers. This will get the process for eviction going and provide her a date she must move out by. If she still fails to move out, then you can commence a summary process action your self and have a judge order that she is removed from the house. You can do an eviction on your own, but i suggest hiring a lawyer so that you avoid all the drama and keep this less emotional.
