First let me start by saying that I'm in the military in Arizona.
My wifes ex-husband just sent a letter to my Squadron commander complaining about a seriers of run-ins him and I have had. My problem is that he put a spin on it that I was trying to come after him when in fact I have had to have him arrested for DV against my wife as well as making threats against me....things like " I'm gong to bash your head in with a rock". My problem is that being in the military I have to respond to each of these claims. The only possible purpose was to make me look bad to Commander and chain of command. While it may not have an affect today it could affect on me in the future.
I guess the question is what course of action to take, once I have defended myself to my leadership. Do I have a civil or criminal matter here and would it be worth it. My fear is that If I do not take a strong stand now he will try this again in the future. Thanks in advance for any all advise!!!
