Q: My brother's ex wife is trying to extort or blackmail him. What can he do? continued details: jail 3x nowbecausethis

She left him very abruptly and she ended it horribly with not a lot of questions answered. No sit down and discussion about why or anything. Just kicked him out and then cut him off completely. And well my brother being heartbroken and in so much emotional pain wanted answers and explanations. He kept calling her and trying to see her and she would let him go over and talk to him as well. However she had already started dating other men before she left and so as soon as my brother moved out she started having them over to her place the same night and different men every night. This broke my bro even more. Well she would talk to him all day but at night she would have whoever over and then be extremely ugly and rude and then block my brother until the next day when she was alone again. She then proceeded to get a protective order so she could use against him when it was convenient for her. She now tells him he has to give her money n every time he doesn't she goestoreportphonecalls

A: I am not sure of your exact question, but if a protective order has been issued your brother must stay away or risk going to prison. He needs to talk with a criminal defense attorney and a divorce attorney. Good luck.
