Buying a houses with family member
I bought a house with my brother in virginia.My brother and I agreed that he and his wife wiil live in the house and because my job I will live in New York.I had been staying in the house only when I have my vacations.My brother and his wife are divorcing now.My brother has no problems with me staying staying in the house like I always do on my vacations but my still sister in law called the policy to take me out of my house when my brother was not at home(he has to travel some times because his job). The policy in virginia is telling me I don't have the right to stay in the house because I don't live there and if I tried to enter the house I can be arrested for trespassing. My name is in the house tittle and in the mortgage.When did I loose my ownership rights on the house?

I forgot to tell you I never tried or my intention was to take her out of the house.She lied to the police officer.

Thank u for you comment.I knew the police officer was wrong but I decided not to do anything because I was with my son.He asked me if I was going to be arrested. He was worried about me. The police officer never asked me for a copy of my deed.He only said "you can't be here". My responded was;" I'm the owner". He said it doesn't matter, you don't live here.My still sister in law don't have any paper or proof that she is renting the house.
