Interference by Ex-husband's wife-Legal recourse?

summer12 · #1 Jun 28, 2007, 06:34 PM

Can anyone advise if there's any legal course of action I can take against my ex-husband's wife. She consistently interferes in all matters. One example that recently happened is that she took the phone from my ex-husband and told me she was recording the conversation and hung up on me. Another example is that she completed paperwork signing my ex's name claiming they had filed for a federal tax extension. Lastly, my ex's previous attorney told my attorney that she had to tell this woman that all of the dealings were between me and my ex-husband. I guess she was out of control and the attorney had been pushed too far. Is this something I am forced to deal with, or do I have any legal recourse? I am in the State of Iowa, if that makes a difference. Any advice is appreciated.

Well you need to talk to your husband first and get things turned around, what is he doing being around her. As for a legal stand it depends from what I can tell she has not threatened you in anyway nor has intentional harmed you. A restraining order may not apply in this case, as for anything else you could maybe ask your attorney to take a look at fraud in the signing of papers. As for the rest of the legal department goes you could check with your local police on any other legal matters where you feel threaded by this women.

I am not attorney in Iowa there for the laws are different; please take this just as advice. I am an attorney there for I am happy to give out any information that may help.

Thank you Mom to be 949. She has not threatened me and in fact lives 300 miles away. It's just that I can't deal with my ex without her calling the shots. It is so frustrating. I'm visiting my attorney tomorrow, and I'm going to ask him about the fraudulant signing of the tax form. Unfortunately, my ex lets her run the show. I think he's afraid of her, and I truly mean that. Thanks, again.

Oh I am sorry I didn't understand that you were the ex wife I am sorry. Ok that's another story see she is your ex husbands wife in that case they are in legal contract (marriage). So she does have rights to some aspects of this relationship, if there are any financial matters because part of that money maybe hers. Are you divorced from him and if so why are you still dealing with him? Is this going to court?
