    Default Ex-Wife Wants My Text Messages

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Hawaii.

    Hello. I did not know which forum to ask this question, so since my seperation kind've caused it, I thought I'd ask here.

    My ex-wife can be very cruel. Then again, so can I. We've bickered back and forth, called each other names and whatnot, very childish, immature stuff. I'm not proud of it. Anyways, the other day my ex told me she was going to have a judge "issue a subpoena to verizon" or some such, basically revealing all of our text messages and print out all of our facebook messages, essentially I suppose to show that I am "emotionally abusing her." I've never threatened her life, nor will I, but I have called her very cruel things when I think she's acting that way - insufferable b word, trailer trash, etc. Our marriage ended because I wanted it to. I'm in the military and there were multiple times she called the MP's on me for very mundane things (like not having sex with her, thus emotionally abusing her; I'm not lying), and eventually she resorted to getting physical. Eventually she tried to make me look like a physical abuser, so there was an investigation and everything, and eventually the IDC on base determined that she was the abuser, and not myself.

    Anyways my question I suppose is, can she take me to court for bickering with her and calling her names, etc. in messages? I probably sound pretty juvenile asking what I think is a silly question, but I have been surprised lately by what makes it into the courtroom.

    P.S. She's never told me what she's actually trying to gain from taking me to court, other than that she was "going to take me to court."

    Thanks for your advice.

    That's a good question. I added a PS at the bottom there, sorry I wasn't clear and concise. Is there anything she can take me to court for? She tells me she wants to get me in trouble for "degrading her" for the past year, but this isn't a one-sided thing - it's us arguing back and forth.

    No... unless the texts rise to the level of threats of violence or some such nonsense, you are fine.

    Send one more text and tell your ex that this relationship is toxic and you are moving on. The first step in that process is severing all communication.

    Unless, of course, you have a child. Then, by all that is holy, get thee to coparenting classes before you screw up the kids with all your anger and hostility.
