Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Nasty letter liability
I received a nasty letter from my ex-spouse's sibling stating some mis-information in a rather threatening way. The letter threatened legal action, but there is no cause of action. An empty threat.
A lot of people people have told me not to respond, but I feel a need to set the record straight. Is there any legal problem with me responding with facts to support why their threats were empty and then to include facts about her brother? These facts include the fact that I filed for a restraining order, filed 3 police reports, an attempted suicided, etc. My intent would be to educate her on her brothers prior behavior and that he isn't the saint she thinks he is.
Could this be viewed as harassment or otherwise?

Re: Nasty letter liability
If you are being threatened with legal action, you should probably gather your paperwork and schedule a visit with an attorney.
Based on the limited facts in your post, it appears that this is more of a personal/family issues and not a legal one. Without knowing more, it is impossible to determine your risk of liability.

From what you said, you would be wasting your time. To the extent that certain false information is being sent to others, then you may have an action; if you want to spend the money?
