If I own a home with a my ex who still lives at the house but I don’t want her friends coming over, what can I do?
Can I list their names and post it at the property to legally keep them from going in? I feel it is extreme to get a restraining order so I am trying to solve this legally without using these measures.

There really isn't much that you can do. An owner of property has the legal right to have over whatever guests that they want. And a co-owner cannot legally prohibit them from coming to visit.

No, you can't do this: any owner of property (and you say that you own the home with your ex) can let any person he or she wants enter, visit, stay at, etc. the home. Because she is evidently a joint owner, she can have any person there she likes.
