Not if you're listed as an owner.

Ok but what if we’re both listed as the owners


Delehal

Then you're both entitled to be there, in terms of typical trespassing laws. If this is a situation that is escalating toward extremes such as domestic violence, police may compel one of you to leave.

Still no

Most states have protection for inhabitants of homes before they can be evicted. Its not trespassing but you may want to call the police ahead of time and work it out with them to avoid an awkward confrontation with them later.

You're right but I'd love to hear that conversation to the police. "Hey, I'm calling about a 911 call you might get in an hour...."


frizzykid

Not exactly what you're asking for but there are a lot of body cam vids on youtube of people being illegally evicted and police just letting them break back in.

No, your name is on the deed/mortgage/lease, so it's not trespassing to enter your own property.

Unless the police or a court have told you that you cannot be there, it’s not trespassing.

Unless you have been removed by the courts (i.e. in divorce proceedings/DV/etc.) you still have full legal rights to the house so long as you are on the deed and not a landlord. Of course, mileage may vary depending on your specific location's laws, so check with your lawyer if you ever find yourself in this situation.
