Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
Being accused of adultery
I have received threatening and harrassing phone calls from the wife of a serviceman serving overseas, accusing me of an affair with her husband. She states she will have her lawyer supeona me. I am happily married and have not seen nor talked to her husband for two years. We were former co-workers. She and I live in two different states and her husband is overseas. What do I need to do?

Re: Being accused of adultery
Note: If you feel you are in a dangerous situation please take immediate action.
The question of threatening behavior and harrassment is not properly a matter of family law or domestic relations even if it arises in that context. While I cannot speak specifically to your situation, generally, when people are the victims of threats and harrassment we strongly advise them to contact the authorities in their locality to both report it and for guidance as to what steps to take for their own future protection. You may wish to seek local legal advice and representation at this time in order to place an intermediary between yourself and the other party, obtain a protection order if necessary and try to avert any attempts to draw you further into this domestic dispute. If you are served with a subpoena, your attorney can review your situation with you and advise you as to contesting it.
