In a joint tenancy between a father and son can the son's wife lock the father out of the house?
No, not unless she has a court order to that effect. The father has the right to the full use and possession of the premises. The son's wife has no ownership interest in the property and she is committing an illegal act by locking the owner out of the premises. The son cannot lock his father out either.
