Harassment charges

Amazedstepmom's picture

Can you press harassment charges on an ex for sending nasty texts, an emails? You are a ft lazy whore, etc. I can't say not to contact me because we have 2 children together but at the same time I am sick of this. Cussing me out via text, calling me names and I don't think this is something I should have to deal with just because we have children. I am all for communication about our kids just not this. Or does this fall under freedom of speech that if I allow any texts then I have to put up with the nasty ones too.

Damn, I won't to do a stay order. Not that communication is great between us but sometimes it is. And there is too much not addressed in the CO that needs worked out and I don't have the $$ to go back to court. He is not hurting me. It is really just annoying. I could care less what he thinks. He even gave me the finger at our daughters concert the other night. I thought one day he'd grow up. I guess not.

your could block him from your phone. Then you could get a prepaid phone and give him that number. that way if you dont want to you dont have to look at it. FDH has three phones, one for BM (prepaid, it stays on the counter from 8-5 and when it rings at night it is the jaws theme song), his normal one, and one for work. It works for us. He gave her instructions that if he doesnt answer in a true emergency she is to text his father with there is an emergency with the girls and some way one of the three of us would be there. She doesnt know that it is a prepaid phone only for her, she thinks he joined my contract and took a different number.

The police told me that you can get a restraining order or an order of protection and that if they even so much as txt u "hi" that its a violation and they will get a fine and spend the night in jail. The consequences get higher and higher each time.

We have kids together so I don't want a no contact order. I just want him to be a decent human being. Asking too much I guess. Thanks for the input. If it gets worse I will pursue something.
