Can I trespass someone (the other woman) from my Oregon property without "cause"?

[marq]

My husband and I are going through a divorce.Ugh. As part of our temporary order while the divorce is pending, he continues to work at a business we co-own (I am the majority owner, he is the minority owner). The business is located in a commercial building and property that I own solely and it is an eating establishment open to the public.

Now, I found out that he is planning to have his girlfriend, the "other woman" work there, with our teenage daughter, this summer. Not okay, to say the least, and potentially a very damaging or volatile situation.

Since I own the property, can I simply trespass this woman from my property to prevent her from being there? Of course, I could just go hang out there and make things very uncomfortable for everyone, but that would be bad for our children and bad for business. Probably would be a big scene, as she is very aggressive about her hatred for me.

I'm looking for how to PREVENT that ugly scene, not create it. But ultimately, I feel strongly that she should not be there, working alongside my daughter, at a property I own solely, in a business my estranged husband and I own. The fact that he is interested in doing this completely inappropriate, destructive, unprofessional thing in our small town is an indication of what an *** he is, but that's another story altogether...

Bottom line: do I, as the property owner, have the right to allow some people entry and deny entry to others, just because I don't want them there? And, if so, how do I go about "trespassing" this woman?

If you are the *sole* owner of the property, all you have to do is clearly tell this person, "You are not welcome on my property." (Send her this information via registered mail if you want to be legally safe.) That's it. You don't have to show any kind of cause. If you're the only owner of the property, it's your absolute right to decide who can and can't be there.

Once you've told her that she isn't welcome on your property, you can ask her to leave whenever she shows up. If she doesn't leave, you can call the cops.

Now, if the soon-to-be-ex-husband is *also* on the deed for the property, well, that would make things trickier, and that's something to be hammered out with your attorney.

I'm sorry, i dont have an answer as such.. but jeeze what a situation... your Ex is without a doubt an ***!! what you do now and over the next while this is going on will definatly build you as a person.. your daughter should see clearly who has her best interests.. and by the sound of it it aint her dad... who would create a situation like that out of somthing already so painfull?? im sorry.. my heart goes out to you...

i went through a terrible break up a few years ago.. and he brought his new friend into things... the pain was incredible..

we didnt have kids, thank goodness.. i couldnt imagine..

try and let your reason rule.. cause it sounds like she lets her demons run wild... be the face of reason and serenity.. (it will drive them crazy!! :)
