Thanks for all the advice. I don't have to worry about a computer because I have not touched the one I have because I do not have internet. I use my internet at work for all my interneting needs.

As for leaving her home alone, I would have no choice as Saturday nights I deal cards as a side job and need to work to pay bills. That means she would be home with D1.

Some boundaries I have come up with is:

1. She has 1 month to come up with an apartment.
2. Half of the rent will be paid up front.
3. Half of the electricity will be paid up front.
4. She will buy her half of the groceries. I will buy my half.
5. She will clean up after herself and do her share of the housework.
6. We will keep our respective days of being in charge of D1's care.
7. Absolutely no friends/boyfriends/partying/whatever over. I reserve the right to evict immediately if there is even a hint of this rule being broken.
8. There is a 2 am curfew and coming home smashed is not accepted. If she can't be back by that time, then she can stay elsewhere.
9. No eggs in the non-stick frying pan. (Code for no nookie!)

Right now I am trying to border the line of being cordial/professional and compassionate about this.

If you have any thoughts please feel free to share.
