Can you be arrested for trespassing?

[justalayman]

Trespassing IS a crime itself.

it requires an intent to commit some other crime. Without that intent, trespassing is not a crime if there was no notice given. This is another reason burglary is a much more appropriate charge. Entry itself is considered to be prima facia proof there was intent to commit a crime.

the home is in foreclosure and it has been vacant for 45 days.

has the "owner" been evicted? If not, not sure what the issue is. Until a foreclosure is complete, the owner still legally owns the house and unless they have been evicted, they have all rights to enter their own house.

Is this situation related to one of your other threads?

think the owner is in jail/prison and OP is a ex of said owner. Per posting Hx...But hopefully will post back and in a literate manner tell us what is going on.

It's a mess I'd love to go full detail but so many people are so judgemental over it.

Basically I got a woman pregnant who was in the process of a divorce. After she had been mistreated and the kids abused badly by their father. During the divorce he got a lawyer and part of the divorce was for him to be able to keep the home. She signed a quit claim deed during signing the divorce paperwork. He after me and her getting another home came to my home and came in the house and threatened to kill me. I shoved him out the door back outside. He came back fast and we fought. He lost and ran for a weapon. I dialed 911. He went to jail for burglary and battery. Now he had given her all her personal furniture that was made by her dad. He eventually wound up on probation but she went back to him after he made a lot of threats. So a year later she comes back to me. They had called off the divorce and she thought it was all stopped. He basically violated his probation. So he went to jail. She wanted her belongings so she went and got them. He had told her she could have the stuff. But he is a liar and a trouble maker so he will try to start trouble about it. The home is in foreclosure and he has sold a lot of her stuff already and the kids she just wanted her furniture her dad hand crafted for her. That was given to her as a gift. I hope you can figure this out. It's bsically the short version.

So you two thought it would be a great idea to trespass? And take the items without a court order? You two both screwed up. Get an attorney?

Well, get an attorney if they get charged with a crime. If the house gets taken by the bank before the ex gets out of jail and finds out the items are gone, they may not get charged.

 

[cwschultz32]

I've got the best lawyer already. Unfortunately the x will get out tomorrow.

 

[HighwayMan]

I've got the best lawyer already.

So then let your attorney handle this since he knows your situation best. Why are you bothering to ask anything here?

And you thought the people that read your story would be "judgemental."
