My husband is a marine and i need advice on a civil issue..can anyone help me?

my husband and i live in north carolina, his ';friend'; got married and asked to stay with us until they got a place...that was 3 months ago..they havent paid any rent and due to an problem making 3rd party they refuse to pay us..


i came to nj while my husband is away training and now i dont know how to make them pay us or how to make them leave..and we need the wife to wait for a furniture company to get our stuff while i'm here. the deal they want is she stays there for free for the rest of the month and she'll wait for the furniture company. i think thats blackmail. if the company doesnt get the furniture we'll have to pay for it..which we cant afford epecially since i'm not staying there...and if she lives there for free our electricity bill, water bill and garbage bill will rise from her using our stuff. and she'll be eating all of our food while my husband and i arent home.





and who's to say that she wont stay there for free anyway while i'm here and cant monitor what she's doing even if we say no to the deal?





its a big problem..and i'm willing to explain further when asked..its a long story. i just need help on what i can do.





i would like to get both of them kicked out of the marines..is there any higher ups that can do something about it??





we saved the txts so we have proof..can anyone help me?My husband is a marine and i need advice on a civil issue..can anyone help me?
People in the military are required to pay their bills and can get in serious trouble if they dont. Did you make them sign a contract when they moved in? Any sort of agreement to pay bills or rent?





Your husband could always go talk to JAG about it.My husband is a marine and i need advice on a civil issue..can anyone help me?
unfortunately the only thing the military has to do with this situation is that you can go to jag for advice. otherwise it's purely civil, and you'll have to get an eviction notice put there for them, based on the law in the state they are residing. Then, call the furniture company and have them pick up the furniture earlier, or call someone else to return the furniture to the company. Finally, after you serve the eviction notice, send a law enforcement officer over to have them forcibly moved if they won't do it civilly. Then take them to small claims court for what they owe you. No one lives for free!
If they are marines call their SNCOIC
Do you have any written proof of any of this at all? Not text message actual signed contracts of any type?





The military isn't going to do anything about this.





The place you are staying do you owe or rent? You would have to check with state laws on how to evict someone if they are not on the lease etc. Find a lawyer or try to go to small claims court.
Call the sheriff's office and ask how to have them evicted. You can't get someone kicked out of the Marines unless they have done something criminal.
This is a civil matter, not a military matter. Contact an attorney.
Yes this is a big problem for you. You and your husbands sound like great people taking in friends in need, but they are really taking advantage of your kindness. I believe that you should go to the marines legal office and get advice from them before going up their chain of command. Though if all else fails you have to do what you have to. You also should inform them that they should pay you something for staying their for over three months. I am sure they reseve a nice amount of pay to help out with some of your bills as well as food, they are just being moochers at this point. Maybe you guys should have set guidelines before they came into your home. But what's done is done and they need to leave. Yes it is blackmale about her being their for the furniture company, while she is their using utlities she needs to pay for the month.


But in order to recieve compensations for the last three months you need to talk to legal seriously. Best of luck to you
Every major base has an organization of military wives who are there to help other military families. They are usually very very savvy and can help in most cases. Contact the base office and ask for the number of one of the organizations leaders. She'll be able to advise you.


Alternatively, contact the base adjudant and ask for his/her advice.


Good luck.
