There are three co-owners of this house. Two of them are hogging the whole place and won't let me—the third owner—set foot inside. I've been fighting this in court for 15 years and I've already won every single ruling from the local and state courts. Now, we’re moving forward with a court-ordered entry. I even tried playing nice and talking it out, but one of these women just shut me down. I called the cops, and the officer told me he’s filing criminal charges against her. My lawyer says she could face actual jail time or probation, plus damages. I'm planning to sue both owners for everything since they've barred me from my own home on the coast for 15 years (total violation of my right to my own home). How much can I realistically demand in damages from the woman facing criminal charges, and how much can I squeeze from the other one, since neither of them will respect the court orders in my favor? I don't have receipts for lost rental income because they weren't running it as a vacation rental, but I've spent 15 years feeling humiliated, cheated, and dragged through endless legal battles. Does that count? Can I sue both of them for the emotional toll alone? And seriously, what kind of payouts happen in cases like this? Like I said, they've kept me out of my own house for 15 years.
Please help me out here.

It’s a mess. I have no idea what the ceiling is for damages based on what you just described. On the flip side, you could potentially sue for emotional distress, mental anguish, invasion of privacy—all that nonsense—and there's practically no cap on those amounts. Why haven't you brought this up with your lawyer yet?

Take 15 grams and multiply it by whatever number you honestly think would be a fair win. Then—and don't forget this part—you have to factor in those legal fees you racked up. Add that in... because let’s be real, the US court system is never going to hand over the full amount you're actually asking for; everyone knows that, which is exactly why you have to build those extra costs into your calculations from the start.
