Trespassing Charges Dismissed Against Davis
In Magistrates Court this morning [Jan 13], Dennis Davis, 56, had his charge of trespassing on his estranged wife’s property dismissed.
Davis had been charged with ignoring a letter and, on 12th January 2014, going on to the property that he said he co-owned with his wife. Davis denied receiving any letter that forbade him to go on to the property. Mr Davis told the Magistrate that the matrimonial dispute had been going on for over fifteen years.
However, Prosecutor Garrett Byrne provided a copy of the letter and Senior Magistrate Archie Warner told Mr Davis that he was now bound by the letter and that he should now seek legal advice and help in order to resolve his matrimonial matters. But in the meantime, he was to stay off the property.

When a man and woman are no longer married they need to leave that person alone. One should not have to get a letter for no trespassing. Those letters do not work effectively. The courts are too lenient.
i agree, however it states that he is a co=owner of the property. I don’t know all the details apart from what is provided above, but to pay a mortgage on a property that you are not allowed to enter would be very hard for me to accept. (just being honest)
So the man that has probably worked his whole life for that house should just be homeless now, whilst the women gets everything. Sounds fair
He owns 50% of that property…why should he be inclined to not be on it? She can’t afford to buy him out then makes up some trump charge of abuse / needing restraining order…we do not have the whole story…
So DBL you are assuming that the XWife has ownership of the premises. That’s whats wrong with the courts and society, just give the woman everything, even if it belonged to the husband prior or was purchased together.
My X tried that and got ZERO, nadda, nothing, zilch.
She didn’t put a dime in, so she didnt deserve a dime when she went a steppin.
Check ya sorry arse later, but not on my dime.
Wait, he co-owns the property but is not allowed on his property? The wife should have to buy him out if she doesn’t want him on the property.
I agree with the last two comments. How can you trespass on your own property? It seems very unfair for a co-owner to be banned from a home he owns. Unless he is abusive and a threat to his wife, then this is a matter for the matrimonial/civil courts. It is not a matter for the criminal courts, and was rightfully dismissed.
knowing da truth and not knowing is what needs to be understood…. if ya been paid what do you own there … get the facts first
THIS IS RIDICULOUS IT HAS BEEN OVER 15 YEARS THAT HE HAD BEEN PAID AND WHAT HE CHOSE TO DO WITH THE MONEY HE GOT WAS ON HIM AND IF YOU ALL ONLY KNEW THE DRAMA HE HAS CAUSED ALL THESE YEARS YOU WOULD AGREE THAT HE NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY HE NEEDS TO JUST LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE SO GOOOOO AWAAAYYYYYY FOREVER IMAGINE LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER ALL THESE YEARS JUS CRAZZZZZYYYYYYY
Imagine turning cap lock off and learning how to spell.
He was paid off in full 15 years ago, but still doesn’t comprehend that it isn’t his home anymore.
