Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex husbands firlfriend keeps emailing me even after I have asked her to stop. The emails partly contain information about my cheildren but much of is it is her being hurtful and speaks out of spite. The words she uses makes me feel uncomfortable and she keeps saying if I dont answer a certain way they will take legal action. I do not want to speak to her after she keeps attacking my character as a mother and threatening me with court. Does she have grounds to speak to me on his behalf? Can she keep emailing me even after I have asked three times to stop? I am afraid to look at my email anytime I see I have a new email. Please help, I do not know what to do.

You have two options, legally, you can get an order from the family court that your husband communicate concerning the children, not through his girlfriend. You can get a restraining order preventing the girlfriend from contacting you. The non-legal alternative is to ignore her hurtful statements and consider the source as having no credibility. She does it to get a reaction from you. If she sees no reaction, she will probably stop.
The Family Court philosophy promotes communication between the parents rather than through third parties. In your situation, it seems likely that the court would support orders mandating direct communication between the parents. It may be to your benefit to participate in coparenting counseling to improve the relationship between the parents if possible.
