What is the name of your state? Ohio.
I was wondering what is the definition of Criminal Trespassing? I am asking this because I recently became involved with a woman who is married and ended up leaving her husband that night we got involved with each another. The next night her husband snuck onto my parent's property, where I live, and took her car. I know that there is nothing that can be done to him for taking the car because they are still married but I wanted to if I (and if not me, my parents) could press Trespassing charges on him.
Thanks to anyone would could help answer this question.

Here is a GENERAL definition of criminal trespass:

No person, without privilege to do so, shall do any of the following:
(1) Knowingly enter or remain on the land or premises of another;
(2) Knowingly enter or remain on the land or premises of another, the use of which is lawfully restricted to certain persons, purposes, modes or hours, when the offender knows he is in violation of any such restriction or is reckless in that regard;
(3) Recklessly enter or remain on the land or premises of another, as to which notice against unauthorized access or presence is given by actual communication to the offender, or in a manner prescribed by law, or by posting in a manner reasonably calculated to come to the attention of potential intruders, or by fencing or other enclosure manifestly designed to restrict access;
(4) Being on the land or premises of another, negligently fail or refuse to leave upon being notified to do so by the owner or occupant, or the agent or servant of either.
(5) Enter or be upon a motor vehicle which is the property of another.

You could try, but the police will not take any interest in the case, fortunately. You stole the guy's wife and now you want to ruin the rest of his life. What a jerk.
