What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
My mother-in-law has not been allowed around me or my toddler son for about 18 months. I have no plan on ever letting her around either one of us, unless my son chooses to have contact with her when he is older. This was a decision that I spent ample time thinking about before I made it.
Anyway, she has threatened GP rights a few times, but as far as I know, she has not followed through. I know for a fact that she would have no case if she did follow through.
However, she has been harassing me via email and texting for the past two years. I have made it clear that her contact is not wanted, but I can not block her number on my phone, as it is a prepaid, and she got our new number from mutual friends. (Small town) So I want to send a cease and desist letter from me, for ceasing all contact of any form, or face legal action. I have a template that I can use, but I am wondering about the legality of me sending one, and how to go about it the correct way. If she doesn't comply with the Cease and Desist letter, I will try to file at the court for something more legally binding. But I'm hoping this will get her to leave me alone, because the harassment is escalating. I have saved messages of me asking her to leave me alone, and her replying that she will never stop. There has to be something I can do!
Thank you,
