What can I legally do to get someone out of my house?

My mother-inl-aw was at my house and I asked her to leave and she wouldn’t. I want to know if I can grab her and force her out.

I know that you must be very frustrated here but please do not grab her and force her to leave.  More details are really needed here to help guide you, like how your husband is reacting to all of this and if he is with you on the issue.  Under "ordinary" circumstances you would evict a gues who has turned in to a squatter but again, it is unclear here how you should proceed.  Good luck.
