St Louis, MO asked in Divorce and Family Law for Nebraska

Q: I was divorced in 2021 & son is 18 & lives on his own. My ex continues to harrass me. Can I block him on my phone?

I know my son is covered under the custody/parenting plan until he turns 19. My ex has my email - does he have to have access to me via phone? Neither of our kids will speak to him (emotional abuse situation). But now he's harassing me about things that have no bearing as to the kids. I just want to block his number. We were divorced in Omaha, NE.

A: Maybe. It depends on what your order states and somewhat on the history of the case. If your order allows it, then you can probably block him on your phone and let him know that you are only communicating via e-mail at this time. If he isn't asking about questions relating to the child, then you probably don't have to respond at all. If the questions don't relate to your child, and it is rises to the level of legal harassment, then you can let him know that you plan to seek a harassment protection order if the harassment doesn't stop. You can find info about how to file for a harassment protection order on the Nebraska Supreme Court's website.
