Alienation of Affection Laws

[abaga]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia

Are there Alienation of Affection Laws in Georgia? My ex has been contacting me and although nothing has happened, his wife seems to think she can sue me based on the fact he has called me and can sue me for Alienation of Affection because of phone calls. At one point she thought more was going on, but that has not been the case!

I have tried to get a restraining order against her, however, because she has only made verbal threats against me, nothing can be done, or so I've been told!! I even tried having her arrested for stealing my drivers license (I have proof of that), however, I couldn't even get that done!! I was even told in doing so, she could bring false charges against me for something...anything! Yes, that in and of itself is illegal and she would be brought up on charges for that eventually, it just wasn't worth it at all, so nothing was done!

I have filed several police reports on his wife....one for harassing phone calls. The detective had to call her and tell her to leave me alone and to stop calling me. It stopped for a time, but she started up again. I had to file another when my ex told me she told him that she wanted to do something to me and make it look like he did it! He has told me he is afraid of her.

This is all very confusing and frustrating to me!!!

Help? Thank you!

Do you have children with this ex?

Georgia passed legislation making it impossible to bring an alienation of affection suit so you can ignore that threat.

As for the rest, just learn to ignore her.

Oh, I have tried to ignore her! She is incredible!! Even my ex's family thinks she is crazy as a fox!!! She is blowing up my cell phone tonight! As for blocking her phone number, I really don't want to pay $60. a year to block one phone number!!

Thank you for your advice, mistoffolees! I really do appreciate it!

No, I do not. Not that it matters, as it happens all of the time, but he is not an ex husband, he is an ex boyfriend. Thank you for your reply to my post, Isis1.

The reason I ask, is I would include him on my request for a restraining order. He is allowing this woman to do this to you. In part, I really believe he's encouraging it.

I've tried to get a restraining order. I've been told unless she physically harms me or tries, they will not issue a restraining order! Trust me, I've tried!!! Several times in fact!

Then there's little you can do.

You can block her phone number on your phone.
You can change your phone number and not tell her.

However, there are ways around both of those things. That leaves you with the biggest thing you can do:
Ignore her.
Hang up when she calls.
Do not get into any discussions with her.

Eventually, she'll get tired of it. But the more you get worked up into a tizzy, the more she will continue to pester you. You can't control her actions, but you can control your reactions.

Thank you again, mistoffolees!!! You've been great!! I really do appreciate your help!!

Then quit TALKING TO HIM. Hang up on him every time he calls. IGNORE his emails/letters and other attempts at communication. There is no reason you should be in contact with him considering he doesn't seem to mind his wife giving you a hard time.

Excuse me, Ohiogal, but when a call comes through and I don't know the number, I don't know it is him until I answer the phone. When I said, "as it happens all of the time", that was going to the question of "Do you have children with him?", not about talking to him, which you may be thinking I meant, as that is what you highlighted. When he has called from numbers I do know, they DO go to voice mail if he leaves a message! I've tried blocking email addresses, however, new addresses are made up to get around the blocks. I've done my part. I can't control what is done on his end. I can only control what is done on my end!!!! I'm doing what I can!

You can change YOUR number and YOUR email address.

I changed my email address and a friend of mine (some friend) gave it to him! I don't want to change my phone number because I have over 200 contacts that I would need to give it to as it is my only number!! I guess I will have to spend $60 a year to block him...again, he will get around the block, so that is pointless. A friend of mine changed her number to avoid an ex bf from calling her and someone ended up giving him the number. I just hate having to change my life around for ONE OR TWO PEOPLE!!!!! It's very frustrating!!!

I only wish I could get a restraining order....in my city, the only way they tell me I can get one is if she actually does something to me, or comes to me and threatens me with a weapon, a fist, etc.

Who are the laws protecting?!?!?!?

Thank you again, Isis1!!

The laws are protecting people from having any lunatic stomp in and accuse YOU of doing something with no proof and having YOU face punishment due to said lunatic.

You have a problem with that?

Prove your case and do something constructive, or let it go.

Thank you so much for stating that. I had a serious case of a blonde moment trying to use the correct words to explain that!
