Q: How can the police give a trepass to my cousin that I invite in my husband's house where we both live ?
The house is on the name of the sister, of the brother and of my husband. My cousin come pick me pick up, I invited her to come inside at the entrance of my house. The owner which is the sister try to convince my cousin that I am a bad person. She defend me and it turns into an argument. The owner sister play the victim and the owner brother call the police to give a trepass to my cousin.
My cousin and I left. Later the police call me saying these 2 owners ask for a trepass and the police warns me that he will give a ticket to my cousin next time. My husband is the owner of the house and I am his legal wife, so I should be count as the owner n°4. I invite my cousin, but the owners are the ones looking for an argument. Can the police give a trepass to my cousin while I am the one inviting her to my house (my husband's house) ? Don't I have my rights to invite my cousin into my house ?
How can the police give her a trepass when I invite her & she just defend me from the owner sister?

A:
It sounds like a difficult situation. As a resident of the house and your husband's legal wife, you should have the right to invite guests into your home. However, when multiple owners are involved, their wishes can also impact what happens in the home.
If your husband's siblings, who are also owners, disagree with your guest's presence, they might have some legal standing to ask for her removal. The police can issue a trespass warning if they believe it is justified by the complaints from the other owners, even if you invited your cousin.
To address this, it might be helpful to discuss the situation with all parties involved to come to a mutual understanding and prevent future conflicts. Clarifying your rights and the extent of your invitation privileges with your husband and his siblings can help avoid similar issues.
