Italian woman wins court case to evict her two sons, aged 40 and 42
The woman, 75, from the northern city of Pavia, had grown weary of having to maintain her sons, 40 and 42, and on several occasions tried to convince them to find a more autonomous living arrangement, especially as each had a job. But neither of them wanted to know, she said, according to a report in the local newspaper La Provincia Pavese.
The mother was also annoyed that her sons did not contribute to the household expenses or chores, the newspaper reported. So she took them to court, culminating with a Pavia judge, Simona Caterbi, sympathising with her plight and issuing an eviction order against the men.
In her ruling, Caterbi said that while the men still living at home was initially warranted due to the obligation of the parent to provide maintenance, it was no longer justifiable given the fact that they were over 40. The men have until 18 December to move out.
