Married coupe and living out of others

DON"T DO IT...You know it's a mistake so don't go there...Don't start it and then have a fight to get rid of them later. Tell them they would be better off to get their own place.  Your gut is talking to you ...listen to it.

I agree with Elden, different families living under the same roof does not work. It's hard enough for a couple, much less a couple, a parent and a single person all together in one house. With every additional person that house gets smaller and smaller.

Here's a suggestion, is it possible to create a small apartment with completely separate living facilities (to include an enterance) with the improvement money they have? Probably not, but this is the only condition I would consider if I were you.

One more comment, I know this is your brother and you love him but you can't be sold on the old "it's only temporary and we'll even pay you rent" story. In this case the only definition of temporary is "not permanent" and that can be a looonnnngggg time so don't fall for that one.

I have to answer your question with a big NO an ex is called an ex for some reason and the reasons are all wrong you have not given a valid reason for this. Now to your Brother this female would have nothing to do with him without a job now she will but???????. Remember the fact that this is your home along with your dad's money is a fact in this case big time and she wants to convert your is that she is aloued to make there own rules due to their condition is that I let them make sort of like an improvement to the balcony which is now open, but they want to close it and turn it into a reception or room in order for her to use it as an an office. Now does your area permit doing business in a residental area you may spend thousands of dollars to make a zoning change in your area along with the fact it might not be granted along with an attorney to do this work for you. If you look at it this way you are coming out on the short end of the stick. Now for her motive of doing this is that your brother and his wife may end up owning the home.Lets face the facts let your brouther and his wife get out on there own rent a place of there own( As an old saying goes two families cannot live under one roof ) Your best bet is take in a border to help you out with the bills and possably help take care of your father and pay rent a reasonable amount for the room but also to help you out with cash money. As i see it she wants this or that but who rules your home not you if you go for this deal. And what kind of business does she have and can you trust outhers in your home????? It looks to me as if she wants all this and more that is not known now it will be her home not yours. GOOD LUCK YOU NEED IT.

feeling the way you do I would not agree to this set up.  I have had similar situations regarding a family member and had to stand my ground and say, "No."  It's not easy, but you know her and you know yourself and it doesn't sound to me as if this idea will enrich your life.  I would not agree to this if I were you.
