Trespass to land consists of entering upon the land of another without lawful justification.... Such interference must be direct rather than consequential. To constitute trespass the defendant must in some direct way interfere with land possessed by the plaintiff. The requirement of directness differentiates trespass from nuisance, which is committed when the defendant makes a use of his land that indirectly affects the land of the plaintiff.

Various kinds of conduct have been declared by courts to be trespass to land. Entering on the land without permission or under some lawful authority, such as a warrant properly issued, is the most obvious.
If you're not on their property, just on the road outside, then that's not trespassing. Depending on the context she could apply for a restraining order though, for example if you were driving by the house often or there was a history of family violence.
