Re: divorce with threats of jail

How many years ago? There is a statute of limitations for crime.

Besides if the person threatening you will benefit why couldn't he be charged with crime.

I doubt the person making the threat is a lawyer. If he was he wouldn't be for long. The mere threat of criminal action to gain advantage in a civil matter violates the rules of professional conduct.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
