Q: Friend involved in a very messy divorce in Ohio. They were suppose to negotiate a dissolution, but when he wouldn’t
agree to all of her demands and he finally found evidence of her adultery, she filed for divorce. For 4 months since, it has been hell. She started arguments and then blames him, she refused to let him back in the house when they were suppose to be taking turns, has bashed him on all social media platforms and to all of his friends so now he has none, made up all kinds of lies (acuses him of being drug addict, having another family, abuse when there was none, lied about her income) sends his family harassing texts, continues to send daily bashing texts to husband (63 texts in one day). She stopped sending clothes with the kids during visitation. Temp orders in place, he lost his job, now she says she is going for full custody. She has plans to live with her boyfriend in May and by own admission ‘only drinks 3-4 drinks a day. He was great dad, but did have money issues which he admitted. His lawyer says all this is bs and too early to file contempt. What can be done?
A: Your friend should discuss his attorney for his plan & time frame. He may also wish to obtain a second opinion on how to proceed. It is very difficult to provide more without knowing more details on the case and orders.
