It is illegal to take or exercise control over someone else's property without their permission with the intent to either permanently deprive them of it or withhold it long enough to substantially reduce its value or their enjoyment of it. This applies to any item of value.

Penalty: Violation

It is illegal for a parent or spouse to fail to provide financial support, food, shelter, clothing, or medical care to a minor child or disabled spouse when the person is able to do so and knows they have a legal duty—this is nonsupport, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months 29 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. Nonsupport becomes the more serious crime of "flagrant nonsupport" (a Class E felony punishable by 1–6 years in prison) if the person leaves the state to avoid support obligations or has been convicted of nonsupport before.

Penalty: Class A misdemeanor; 11 months 29 days; fine up to $2,500

It is illegal to enter or stay on someone else's property without their permission. You violate this law if you go onto or remain on property knowing the owner did not consent to your presence, though consent is assumed for businesses open to the public. A violation is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $50 fine. You have a defense if you reasonably believed you had permission, your presence didn't significantly interfere with the owner's use, and you left immediately when asked—but only if the owner did not post visible "no trespassing" signs or purple paint marks at entry points.

Penalty: Class C misdemeanor; 30 days; fine up to $50
