Q: I live in pittsburgh pa. My ex sent me a 31 second explicit video of him having sex with someone and then threatened me
Can i do anything legally. We have a 2 year old together. Hes with me all the time. Im in the process of getting a family lawyer
A:
If he threatened you in some way, you can report that to the police to have him criminally charged. If he threatened you with physical harm, you could also file a petition under the Protection from Abuse Act to keep him away from you and possibly even get a temporary custody order as part of that process.
I think getting a family law lawyer is a great idea -- that lawyer can go over all of your options with you, face-to-face, including child custody and support. Best of luck to you.
