Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

My husbands ex girlfriend with whom he has a child is leaving harassing messages on MY phone directed towards me. I did call the police and when they contacted her, she said she was just trying to contact me to talk with my husband and I regarding visitation times. She is making accusations in court about me being mentally unstable and being on 3 day holds in mental institutions. These are of course not true. She is calling family members and spreading more lies. She is saying that I mentally abuse my stepdaughter and that she is going to bring me to court etc. I am sick of it! I have two other children and one on the way and cannot have this crazyness around my children. She breaks the parenting time schedule with my husband every week. The same situation is going on with another one of her childrens fathers wives and the reason I know this is because we have become fast friends in having to deal with all of the same stress from this women. Her husband and her recently got it so that the ex can only contact them by email so that there is no miscommunication and that way no lies are spread. Can I use this to my advantage and go to court without a lawyer as I cannot afford one and say that my family wants the same thing? I feel that if my family is not the only one suffering due to this women than we should have an easy case?

If you have communicated to the person that you wish no contact, you may seek a harassment restraining order. That only precludes the person from attempting to contact you directly or indirectly. It does not prevent them from communicating with others where the intent is not to send a message to you.
