Have an attorney write a letter explaining why it would be unlawful.

Re: posting nude photos of ex wife

I agree that it sounds like blackmail. Unless the photos were taken in a public place or the wife assented to their publication, the husband has no right to do this.

I agree with Mr. Bakondi that the appropriate first step is to have a lawyer set him straight about the law. If that doesn't work, the next step is a restraining order. If the husband publishes the photos before an order is in place, the wife can sue him for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She may have other causes of action depending upon the nature of the photos and where/how they are published.
