Legal Question in Family Law in California
Harassment from Ex
Q.� how much harassment do I have to take from my ex?Reason I ask:� We have a 4 1/2 year old that when he was 3 months old we went to court to fight for custody issues. We never married.� Since then he has consistently harassed me with phone calls of wanting to get back together, when I turn him down he gets very angry and says things like you only care about yourself and not our son.� This has been going on for 4 years now and I cant take it anymore.� Just 2 weeks ago he texted me that I put myself 1st and not my son.� Which couldn't be further from the truth.� I want to know do I have to take this from him.� I know the courts want us to work this type of childish stuff out on our own but I have tried to just let it blow over and move forward but he will not stop.� I don't want to go back to court but I feel like this is just not far.� I have even given him more time with our son and have been very accommodating with our schedules.� He is always late and bounces checks and every month he goes into this tyrant...� So my question is do I have to put up with this?� What can I do to stop him from this type of behavior and just focus on his son.Thank you in advance for your helpKelly

Re: Harassment from Ex
You should file for a restraining order, which will prevent him from harassing you. The self help centers usually offer help for restraining orders.
good luck.
As always consult a qualified attorney in your area before proceeding.
