What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I have a few questions.
1. My husband got into a couple of heated arguements with his parents over the summer. He has made no real attempt to contact them. However, his parents have since involved his two brothers, sister-in-law and 16 yr old nephew. His nephew has taken it upon himself to post a couple of nasty posts on his Twitter page. My husband doesn't want to sue, however he does want to see if there is some law that he can show his family and say "He can't do that, here's the law as proof and please stop before it goes any further." Also, upon my further research/reading of his Twitter site (106 pages), he has posted about him (nephew) smoking pot (another reason we want to keep our two small children away from them). Should we contact a family lawyer for this?
2. Also, is there some protection for our children should anyone post pictures of them online which is something we do not allow.
3. His parents have a tendancy to show up unannounced. We have told both sides just to give us a mininum of 24 hrs notice just so we'll know and they'll know if we're home etc... I was told that there is a law that people just can't show up on your doorstep. I don't exactly believe this.
4. My husband is pretty much fed up with his family. And in trying to break away from them and to protect myself and our two children from them he has just mentioned "disowning" his parents/family. At age 35 I doubt that can happen but he still wants to know if there's a way.
This is a pretty messed up situation all the way around.
Thank you for your time in reading all of this.
