Eviction And Commitment Options

Summary

In California, you can evict a violent adult child with a 30 or 60-day notice, depending on their length of stay. A restraining order can be sought if they are violent. For severe cases, consider a 5150 hold for involuntary psychiatric evaluation if they pose a danger to themselves or others. This involves contacting local authorities or a mental health crisis team to assess and potentially initiate a 72-hour hold. Further treatment may require a court order.

I understand the eviction process and I understand the restraining order, but can you please run down the involuntary commitment for me how I can go about doing that and what it entails

- Criteria: The person must be a danger to themselves, others, or be gravely disabled due to a mental disorder.
- Process: A peace officer, mental health professional, or certain other professionals can initiate the hold.
- Duration: The initial hold lasts up to * hours for evaluation and treatment.
- Extension: If further treatment is needed, it can be extended with a court order.
Would you like more details on how to initiate this process?
yes, I would. He obviously cannot work with societal norms. He hasn’t held a job at all. He can work here and there, but it’s like at Walmart. He like fits and stuff because he got frustrated about boxes being in the way and things and he was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD as a kid. I think he might be bipolar I’m bipolar and that usually you hand it down to your kids, so can you please give me some ideas? We don’t have any money. We really just need to get him help and you know my husband has heart problems he’s elderly and this is not good. We have no way of getting them outta here.
