Legal Question in Mediation in California
Grounds for legal action?
The conflict is between a former
couple. The ex-boyfriend believes he
was unjustly treated and seeks answer
for severe emotional and psychological
trauma. The ex-girlfriend has avoided
confronting the boy entirely and
believes that his requests are out-of-
line and grounds for legal injunction if
necessary. The boy only seeks to
communicate and has attempted to do
so a handful of times over the past
year. He has never issued any threats,
has been respectful and has always
stated his reasons clearly before
attempting to talk.
The girl has refused all attempts to
talk, and asked him to stop. The boy
does not see why he should respect
her wishes when she does not respect
his. The girl has never provided the
boy with any reasons, but still refuses
to talk...etc. It goes back and forth
and they have been at it for over a
year now, there must be a way to stop
it.
Are there any grounds for legal action
on either party's side? Could
harassment be decided even against
the justifications
of the boy? Is there a more productive
way to stop this nonsense when the
girl is completely unwilling to try
anything besides avoiding the issue?

Re: Grounds for legal action?
Regardless of whatever unresolved issues the "boy" may have, he has no business contacting the "girl" if she does not want to be contacted. This conduct does border on harassment. If I were representing the girl, I would strongly advise her to seek a harassment restraining order that would prohibit any further contact.
