Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Florida

MI and FL Harassment Law

I am 21 years old and have never met my father. He has been a deadbeat dad my whole life. He is currently married and lives in both MI and FL. If I show up on his doorstep or call him, to try to get in touch with my father, would this be considered harassment or result in my being imprisoned or fined?

Re: MI and FL Harassment Law

A lot of the answer will depend on what you do or intend to do. Not sure about Michigan law, but I can't imagine that you would be prosecuted for merely contacting him. Harassment generally pertains to more than one incident.

If you make contact and he tells you to leave him alone, but you don't, then you might face some sort of harassment charge. There could be other circumstances but not very likely, I would think.
