Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Being harassed by ex-wife. Can I stop it?
My ex-wife continually stirs trouble in my household by sending me letters, voicemails, & legal forms (Agreed Entries & Motions to Change) wanting to constantly change something with regards to child support payments and/or visitation. She works for a local attorney's office & uses their counsel free of charge & at her leisure. Is there anything I can do to stop these unnecessary & petty actions derived from her bitterness towards me?
It has developed into what I feel is harassment. I have always maintained support payments current, provided insurance (medical, dental, life for both my daughter an I), gave addt�l money above court ordered amt, & have had regular visitation until recently due to her harassments. My ex-wife seems to be searching for ways to hurt my current family and me as a way to either controlling the situation or to be vindictive. Her actions towards me have caused an unbelievable strain on my current household and I have developed fear of being sued for more child support or other threats, as she so desires. How can I stop this and save my relationship with my daughter who will ultimately become the victim of her mother's behavior?

Re: Being harassed by ex-wife. Can I stop it?
Sounds like a restraining order might be necessary, and ask that any future contact between you and her be done through your attorneys.
Trust me -- the person who's doing the free legal work for her will grow very weary of that arrangement. (From what you said, I suspect she's just typing it up herself, modeling it after someone else's papers, though.)
Let me know if you have other questions.
