Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

My Father's Wife

My father is in the middle of a divorce with the ''lady'' he married about 10 years ago. For these 10 years (and including now) I have had to deal with horrible emails, letters and phone calls from her. They started when they first started seeing each other and they are still going on as of 2 days ago. Sometimes, we'll go months w/o hearing from her, but it always ends up happening again. These emails and things said are more horrible than any ''normal'' person can even imagine (willing to send copies if you need examples of what we deal with) - the other day I received 16 of these - and sometimes she'll change her email address, etc. to get through (if we block hers, etc.) I know they're just words (sticks and stones), but these are not things that people say - these things are horrible - worse than can be imagined. Is there anything I can do? Can I take her to court to stop this? Is there any legal action I can take? I have put up with this long enough and it's just getting worse since my father is divorcing her now. Please help. (She lives in a different state than I do) - I don't even know what part of law this would fall under.

Re: My Father's Wife

if you have put up with it long enough, then see an attorney about getting an injunction. Then when these things happen, you might be able to get her confined for contempt. Of course, you are going to have to be able to prove that she is the one sending the emails.

I suggest you block her address everytime you receive email from her. You could change your email address and make sure to not share it with anyone who might give it to her. Legal options will prove expensive and, like changing email addresses, are not bullet proof.
