Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
family law, harrassment
when reaching a settlement with an ex-spouse, is it at all possible to implement a clause stating that from this point forward, there is to be absolutely no contact, phone calls, etc. to the family members of the other party involved for the rest of the ex-spouse's life? Ex-wife is suing father w/ Alzheimer's for health insurance based on original divorce decree. Over the years, the ex-wife (w/ bipolar disorder) has continually harrassed the family of the Alz. patient. We are willing to try to reach a settlement and would like to avoid this person by implementing this stipulation into the settlement. Any suggestions aside from typical call screening? She lives in another state which makes call blocking virtually impossible.

Re: family law, harrassment
Sure, you could include whatever "no contact" clause or provision in your settlement proposal you like and to which the former spouse is agreeable,
however, the reality is that such a blanket prohibition could prove very difficult(if not impossible) to enforce in the future for a whole variety of reasons which I will not go into here(in my opinion).
