    Can an ex husband sue me for emotional abuse 4 years after divorce
    My husband and I divorced 4 years ago it was a mutual understanding civilized divorce with no lawyers involved. I got full custody of our minor child. 2 years after the divorce we both remarried. My present husband asked for step parent adoption. My ex husband agreed and all the forms were friendly signed with no attorneys involved. The adoption was finalized in court about 1.5 year ago.
    3-4 months after step parent adoption I started to receive e-mails from my husband with emotionally verbal insults (my ex husband is remarried and based on his word he has a new baby), I was not smart and responded back. Then he send me a lot more e-mails where he accused me of infidelity during our marriage (which is not true) and demanding Home Kit paternity Test to be completed as soon as possible. He claims that if I don't do it; he is going to sue me for emotional abuse, he claims that he went to the Shrink after our divorce and that he has to be heavily medicated because of me and the words I said
    And that I am emotionally abusing him mentioning our child and etc, supposedly he has a big medical file on top of that he kept all my responses in which he has altered his responses to sound that I am really some kind of monster and he is poor victim. On top of that he claims he will sue my present husband as well (even though he was not involved in any of the correspondence).
    We are in FL, the ex is in Canada but he is the resident of TX. He also threatens me with black mail; he said he will send those
    e-mails to my husband which would cause some disturbance in my house.
    I feel that I should do that DNA test to prove my innocents and stop this blackmail, but based on some reviews he lost all his rights to demand anything after he signed his consent for adoption and it was finalized. Can he really sue me for emotional abuse?

    Anyone can sue anyone for just about anything, but this is ridiculous and I would start by ignoring his emails. Emotional abuse in the marriage? He missed the boat on that during the divorce. Recently, in emails? Not a leg to stand on. Perhaps his new wife or a medical condition or having a new baby has triggered some recriminations; it doesn't matter. He isn't even in the US. I assume that he isn't paying you anything? I'd skip the paternity test too,

    Thank you! No he is not paying me anything. During divorce we agreed for the child support, however that ended with the step parent adoption. Legally we don't have any debts to each other, except that now he is treatening me with this lawsuite
