    Default Ex-Spouse Engages in Yelling and Name-Calling

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: NY
    My ex husband in the past has had orders of protections on him but doesnt have any now. He says he has freedom of speech and can call me anything he wants and can yell at me when ever he want. I do not feel like i should have to deal with him bullying me until my child is grown. I file police reports when it happens but i am told it doesnt meet the criteria for harassment because he doesnt threat me. Please help.

    If we're talking about visitation exchanges, consider moving the exchange locations to a public place where he might be more apt to behave.

    it is public
    that doesnt stop him
    He also calls me yelling and calling me names, and texts them to me

    You can also request that he communicate with you through e-mail only so that you can have records of all your communication. If you meet him for visitation in public places and eliminate all phone conversations, that could help the problem.

    Now, if he talks about you like this to or in front of the child, you may want to tell your lawyer.

    Yeah, it definitely sounds like you guys should not communicate over the phone. Don't answer the phone, and send an e-mail.

    I have the texts of the names he calls me. His rational is that he has a right to call me any name he wants. So if i have the texts can I do anything? What about recording the calls? I wouldnt have answered but he had my son at that time.

    The legal reality is that yes, he can call you names. He can raise his voice. He can be a complete jackass. If he's causing a public disturbance, police can be summoned. If he's berating you in front of the child, you need to notify your attorney. Otherwise, all that's going to help is a thicker skin. The more bothered you are by name calling, the more he's going to do it. Have as little contact with him as possible, and dont' provide him with the reaction he's seeking when contact is required.

    Want to add we are going through something similar now and our attorney suggested moving the exchange to the local police sub station. We did and it is an amazing difference! Love it! hth

    thank you for letting me know i am not the only one with an ex like this. I may move it to the police station. Do you go in there? or just the parking lot?

    My ex was like that for years. I always had someone with me for our child's pick up and drop off. When it came omhone calls, even when he had our son, I would let it go to voicemail and then pick it up a little after so I could determine if it was an emergency or just him pitching a fit. Again. We now communicate via email or text only. He has stopped the nasty barrage since it no longer affects me.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I guess I will have to let it go to voice mail. Im so careful to no engage in his name calling and yelling. Maybe I need to stop being nice. I just dont want to deal with it. Would a call to the childs guardian at litem help? Not that I have seen her around in 3 years or so.
