This is a little of topic but my ex and I have been exchanging emails since the end of March. That is when things got really nasty and now we don't talk at all. The reason for the emails is I have requested that he stop calling me a work. Then he accused me of harassing him (I started a thread about his harassing calls a while back). Needless to say I don't harass him. Anyway he started copying his attorney on the emails he was sending me and whenever I replied I would reply to ALL (him and his atty). Well yesterday I received another unwanted email. As I was getting ready to press send I noticed his atty's email is the not the email address he has listed on his website, so I sent the email to my ex, copied the email address for his atty that he has been using and his atty's email address off the website. I then received a reply from his atty for me to never copy him on any email ever again! WOW was I shocked. Over a month of emailing and his atty never replied back to me. That was because I found out that the email address my ex was using as his atty's email was one he created using his atty's firm name (real psycho). I didn't know that it was unethical for me to reply to his atty or I would have never of done it.

My question is can I get in trouble for sending email to his atty? And can it be brought up in court that my ex created a phony email address using his atty's firm name to give me the impression that he was copying his atty on email being sent? My ex is a computer software guy and he has hacked and tapped into my email before. I just want to show the court what kind of character he has.

Well, I think it is the client that decides if he want contact between their lawyer and their ex. For example, my ex has said to not contact her and to direct all questions to her lawyer. I think in that instance, the lawyer HAS to reply to you. If dad does not want it then I don't think that the lawyer can do it.

No, I don't think you can get in any trouble for that. Hopefully you kept copies of the previous emails so that you can demonstrate that you believed that all email correpondence was being copied to his attorney. It probably won't even come up in court...but if it does, you have an adequate defense. just don't do it again.
