Yes so my mother owns a home that i grew up in for 10 years and she recently got a new partner who lives with her. I have always came and went since it was my childhood home but lately me and her partner have gotten into it and she called the cops and had me trespassed from my moms house. My mom did not talk to the police or trespass me herself. after this incident it was known i can go there as long as my moms partner was not home and it has been a non issue. I went by one day to see my mom and ask if she could watch my dog for a couple hours which she agreed to. I came back to get my dog the next day and her partner happened to be home and called the police who picked me up and charged me with burlgary, What are the chances i can beat this case?
