Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

Can she sue me for breaking them up?

My parents divorced and my father wants to get married again next week. I did a background search on his fiance and found out she has a criminal background so we, my brother and I, have refused to allow this marriage to happen. We don't want her history (1 charge about 15 years ago) to show up on our future background checks and keep us from getting good jobs or mortgages. Dad says he has always known about her history and believes she was innocent, but we don't think that matters. She still has a criminal conviction! We told our dad we would cut off all communication with him unless he cancels the wedding and sends this woman away for good. Now she says she won't go away without a fight, won't give up on getting married, and will fight us legally for threats and intimidation, coercion, blackmail, or anything else they can think of. The only threats we've made were about not speaking to our dad. Dad really loves her and she loves him, but we think he should be more concerned about what his daughter and son think of him. We're not little kids who don't know what's going on. We're 22 and 27 and believe she will ruin his life and ours. Can she do this and do we need a lawyer?

Re: Can she sue me for breaking them up?

Nothing in her background will show up on your background. You will not be denied a job or a mortgage because of her. All threats in this matter ring hallow. You can't do anything to your dad except deprive him of the company of 2 spoiled children. Apparently he doesn't care. What does that tell you and your sibling? Grow up and wish your dad the best. You don't need a lawyer, the 2 of you need a spanking.
