Legal Question in Family Law in California
An emotionally, and mentally abusive uncle
My uncle ripped my mail out of my hands, read it, found out I had accidentily bounced a check. I told him that I am in the process of paying it off, but he would not listen. I live with my grandma, he called her and screamed at her, and threatened to: have the sheriff come throw me out of my grandma's house (which he does not own), call the company where I have an interview and persuade them not to hire me, to have my wages frozen if I do get a job, and to sue me for all the money he has ever given me. I went to college and he funded me, but I never asked him to. I never askedhim for a dime. He just gave it like a gift. Several times I offered to pay him back and he wouldn't let me. He said he is going to ruin me in every way possible.
He has been mentally and emotionally abusive to everyone in our family. He is insane.
Please help. I am only 19 yrs. old. I need to get a place of my own. if he does all this I will end up on the street. I just need to know if he can do any of those things, and if there is any legal action I can take against him. Thank you for reading my question. I know you are busy, but I am so scared.

he can do none of those things. Ignore him.
Re: An emotionally, and mentally abusive uncle
You may need to get a restraining order to stop him from verbally abusing you. If it is necessary to obtain a restraining order the court may order him to pay your attorney fees. When dealing with a person of this nature be careful when you are around him.
