Need harrassment help please

What is the name of your state? Massachusetts

I posted this elsewhere and haven't heard anything back from anyone so hopefully someone here will see it and respond. Thanks.

Hi, I hope someone can help me and point me in the right direction here. My ex-wife and I divorced several years ago now. We have two teenage children that I am very close to, one of whom by her choice came to live with me when the divorce happened. This one is off to college now and of course, my home remains her home base always and my other daugher I see at least once to spend time together each week as well as every other weekend. I'm not perfect of course anymore that anyone else under the sun but I am a decent enough guy and just want to go on with my life, enjoy time with my kids whenever I can and try to be happier for the second half. I was married almost 20 years to this person, who now haunts me and harrasses me on a regular basis.

I have repeatedly asked her to get out of my life and leave me alone and she simply will not do it. I do not initiate any contact with her, nor have I for quite some time. Yet, she contines to make unwanted telephone calls to me and leaves nasty messages on my answering machine, says terrible things about me to the kids, that are not at all true (they know this though) and worse, has recently twice visited my home when i wasn't here sticking messages to me under my front door full of insults, etc.

I'd really like to make this stop somehow as I find it pretty upsetting but I don't know how or what to do. Could someone offer some advice here about setting and enforcing limits on a former spouse, or anyone for that matter when they harrass you like this? All I want is to get on with my life and live in peace.

Thanks very much. I'll be grateful for any assistance I might find here. I'd love to be able to do something that requires her to stop contacting me permanently. I am more than happy to never contact her. As it is, I don't anyway. I do not respond to these calls or letters either.

Thanks a lot.

Michael

Petition the court for a restraining order.

I did and the judge said no. Her reason was there has been no direct threat made to either physically injure or kill me.

Any other ideas?
