Can a soon to be ex wife be charged with stalking if she follows her soon to be ex husband around and calls him on the job on the company cell phone causing him mental anguish?

  • Yes, an ex wife who is following her ex husband (whether they are divorced or not) in any area; standing outside his place of residence; harassing him at work by phone or turning up at his place of work and embarrassing him; phoning him at all times of the day and night; emailing constantly or making threats the husband can put a 'Cease and Desist Order' against her. Although this document is hardly worth the use of the ink and the paper it is written on it may deter the ex wife. If this does not work then collect evidence such as taking her picture (right in front of her) when she is at your place of employment; answer one or two of her phone calls and tape the conversation; keep all text messages by her especially if she is in a rage or threatening you and make copies. Then report it to the police and tell them you want it on record.
