Yes, it is harassment. Alert your phone company to the issue as soon as possible, the best time would probably be right after he makes a call to you. You can also check with your local legal aide (check the yellow pages) and see what other options you have. It is against the law to harass someone over the phone and I believe it's also illegal to do so by mail. A personal protection order won't be of much use in this instance, but you should contact a lawyer to find out what your options are.Can you file haressment charges against an ex spouse with phone calls and letters about family issues?
your can file against anyone who you feel threatned by. th phone calls are called communictaion haressment, and the leters depending on what they say could be haressment. there are different levels of harressment charges. but on most if not all you dont even need proof. you can go to the police department and just file a complaint it does not even have to be true unfourtenly
my approach is that my ex and I will always be parents to our kids, even though they are now adults. If EITHER of us were demanding, the other certainly could cut it off totally.
I think I may be an exception. When they are children, you are expected to cooperate in info exchange. After that.. it's your choice, and you can prohibit him from calling or writing you. Tear up the letters, get caller id and don't answer. Talk to your local police as to what level of calls would be harassing.
Look up your state statute's definition of ';harassment';.
you should get in contact with your divorce attorney.
