Legal Question in Family Law in California

My wife and I own a home jointly.

Her Son, my stepson moved out when he was 19.

Now that he is 28, he moved back home.

The other night a serious incindent happened where essentially he assaulted me. I did not file a police report or file charges. I was hurt but it was minor. I forbid him from coming back to the house. His mother insist that he is welcome back. What are my rights? May I legally keep him out of the house and out of the car which is also owned jointly between hism mother and myself.

Please advise. Thank you.

As co-owner she has the right to allow anyone access. Your only option would be a restraining order.
