    Judge Rules 30 Year Old Must Move Out of Parent’s House

    It's time for a 30-year-old man to move out of his parents' home, an upstate New York judge ruled Tuesday.

    Parents Mark and Christina Rotondo of Camillus, N.Y., want their son Michael to move out, get a job and take his broken-down Volkswagen Passat with him. The couple gave Michael several eviction letters over the past few months and even offered financial help to move out of their house. But he won't leave without a legal fight.

    In a Feb. 18 letter, his parents offer him $1,100 to find another place to stay, ending with: "There are jobs available even for those with a poor work history like you. Get one — you have to work!"

    The individual in question - went to the same High School I did (though several years later)
    So it is real big news here in Syracuse.

    The article states he has a business, but he would not go into detail

    Also (not stated in the article) he lost custody of his son. He claims this is a major part of the reason
    of the current situation. BTW, he is also a college dropout.

    Found another link for this story.

    He has indicated he "might" leave the house in maybe 3 months.

    Shows a lot of respect for the judicial order.;)

    He had a son? So not only didn't he take care of himself, he did not provide for his son either. Great, I bet the kid is now being supported by us, the taxpayers. But anyway, the guy is a real deadbeat and his parents waited far too long to kick his sorry butt out of the house. You have to wonder though, how did is parents raise him. Did they ever say "no" to him as he was growing up and that is part of the reason he turned out the way he did? I don't think we are getting the full story here.

    We never do. The news media has to pounce on the story before the news cycle leaves it behind. That is one of the reasons we often hear these stories and "new revelations" appear later after the damage has been done.

    The parents have refused several interview requests by the local media.

    Here is another link:

    from this link:
    1) He is reportedly suing former employers Best Buy for $340,000 in damages and court costs after he was sacked for refusing to work on Saturdays, his access day with his child.

    2) After the hearing it emerged Mr and Mrs Rotondo are also engaged in a legal battle over visitation rights with their grandson, who lives with his mother.

    From this link: Federal court documents (which you can read later in this article) show he once sued Best Buy in Syracuse for gender discrimination after being terminated. Among his claims: He was upset they were trying to make him work Saturdays and wouldn’t put him in the cell phone department. He alleged the company treated female single parents differently than him, and the company alleged he abandoned the job.

    In the For what its worth Dept - I was a behind-the-wheel driving instructor- had many students at his High School (also my alma mater) so it is very possible I taught many kids who knew Mike Rotondo

    here is the high scholl picture of clean cut Mike Rotondo https://twitter.com/JustinPageNews/status/999405936862203904/photo/1

    Yes, I think the parents have shown the love of Christ by allowing the "man" to stay as long as they did. They are also showing him some "tough love" by kicking him out and forcing him to take charge of his own life and to stop being a leech. I believe it says somewhere in the Holy Writ about the positive aspects about working in order to continue eating.

    Proof positive that he was always trying to game the system in one way or another for financial gain.

    The guy told the judge he had a job--he owned a business. When the judge asked him what kind of business he owned the guy said that he didn't want to divulge that information, "my business is my business."

    Now, I've never heard of My Business. Does anyone know what product or service they sell? Is My Business related to "It's None of Your Business"?

    All parties concerned have reaped what they sowed. Now what?

    All edicts, judgements, and court orders notwithstanding, enforcement is still very difficult without a deputy. Then what? Put the man in an overfilled jail until he repents?

    Life is short--pray hard.

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    Deputy? A friend of mind once had this same problem with evicting some lowlife's from an apartment he owned. A call to some of his biker friends solved it real quick.

    Just in today, State supreme court has given him until noon, 1 June to vacate, after that the parents will be able to have the Sheriffs assistance.

    I'm surprised the judge didn't hold him in contempt.

    But will they ask for it? I'm pretty sure he won't leave voluntarily.

    This is a parental issue. If you allow your child to get to 30 yrs old for this to happen then you are def reaping what you sow. Sadly this type of thing is way too common in todays world.

    The son moved back with the parents 7 years ago (around age 23) which was about the time he lost his job and started legal action to get visitation with his son. There is a lot more to the story, but you have to gather a crumb here and a crumb there and piece it together yourself. It seems the art of "journalism" is dead.

    There might be more to this story, but really, a 30 year old lost his job 7 years ago, moved in with his parents and is still there. They had to go to court to get him to moved out. That's really the story here and all the other circumstances pale in comparison.

    I'm sure there is a lot more to the story. Apparently, the "straw that broke the camels back" was loosing custody of his son. It appears that this has drastically affected him. --He asked for Saturdays off of work, as that was the day, that he had "visitation rights" His boss basically said tough. Mke then sued, on gender discrimination - saying that female single parents were able to have work schedules around their kids.

    I am thinking about writing him a letter and see if he would could meet and talk to me about some of these issues.

    Granted, he should have worked these things out - but for some people it takes a while.

    This sounds like a good prayer request.

    Yes. They tried to get the local Sheriff to evict him, but were informed that it required a court order to evict a relative ... that's how they ended up in court.
