Q: What can I do to stop my ex wife from harassing me?

My ex wife texts and emails me everyday with threats. Anything from keeping me daughter from me to making my life miserable. She is even trying to talk to me family just to tell them how "horrible" I am. I do not respond to her messages but she will send paragraphs calling me names and threatening me. I am divorced and have joint custody ( I have our child 4 days per week) I also pay 20% in child support.

A: Go see a local attorney for a full discussion about these matters.

A: The local attorney will be able to advise you as to whether it would be better to seek an injunction, or perhaps file a motion for enforcement. Read the agreement between you and the ex. Does it have something in there that you can use?
