I filed phone harassment charges on my husband X- wife she call at least 10 time a day and leaves stupid messages, hands up, yells and calls him names. Lets the kids do the same. Do you think they will go through with the charges? I release my phone records and also she assulted me two times and my friend once at my house. She is paying a fine for that . Do you think I should have filed it? True answers only. Please no kids!!

Yes, file anything that lady does with the police dept and also the phone company where she just might lose her phone. Husband will have to show unstable and hostile environment in court to obtain kids because usually the only way a mother loses them is by child or drug abuse which has to be documented. This is going to be one of those cases that could go either way because of what she is doing is not true child abuse per se. She could get a stern warning from the court with a social worker watching her or the judge could deem her household as too hostile and have the kids removed til she seeks help. But you guys need to document and file anything and everything against her, it will help in court. Wish I could tell you more, sorry and good luck

First what does your husband think of you filing it? If he supports you in the decision then you did the right thing. No one should have to go through all of that from anyone and he needs to do something because if this woman is alowing her children to do it as well that is a fornm of abuse. As far as what will happen I don't know she will most likely get a slap on the wrist and a small fine which isn't fair but the way it works. I would find a way to record all phone calls and take her to small claims court as well if it continued.

Yes. I'm sorry that you have to go through that. What does your husband say. And what does he say to the kids? Even if the police never really do anything, I strongly believe in karma and she will get whats coming. Trust me, my mom went through something similar with my dads new wife when I was a baby (I'm 21 now) and boy is that woman going through some stuff now. So even though you may not see what you want to happen to her now it will come back around. I just happy I wasn't old enough to remember all the drama. I know it has probably put a strain on your marriage. I hope everything eventually works out for you. You just show who the true adult is.

Yes, I think you should file every charge you can against her. Sooner or later she will get the point that you mean business. It's wrong of her to be using the kids. Don't know the ages, but I just guessed they are young. Later she will regret her own actions when the kids turn on her.
Hope your husband is standing beside you on this problem. Good Luck!

yes, filing charges was the right thing to do....she has some deep rooted issues, and it may help you and your husband get full custody of the kids, because she isn't being a good responsible parent for the kids. I would also consider getting a restraining order against her. If she is unstable, and it certainly sounds like she is, you or your husband may be harmed. She needs to stand in front of a judge and try to explain herself, maybe she'll wake up and realize what an idiot she is being.

Yes by all means,you did what you had to do and she caused the whole thing from what you have said. Someone has to stop this foolish actions of hers. The kids get hurt the most in these things. So she must only be thinking of herself not them at all. She wouldn't do this and hurt her kids if she was capable of loving them.Sounds like she needs a lot of professional help. I hope you and your husband can get the kids out of there before she does them more harm. You really did the best and right thing.

Simply stated, Yes, not only should you, but you should continue to follow up with the police on a daily basis and make sure they don't drag their feet, there has been many a headline on the news about situations like this that were allowed to go too far, if she has assaulted you once, it's likely that she will do it again, maybe worse the next time. Good luck.

I don't know where you live, but in many states you can file a protective order which requires this woman to stay a certain distance away from your family. If she violated this order, they would throw her in jail. Check with your attorney general's office, or maybe legal aid.
Also, maybe put a block on her phone number, so at least she couldn't call you from her home, call the phone company to get this.

Yes it is defiantly a form of harassment. Add to that the fact that there has been physical altercations in the past and you can add to the charge intimidation, if she is say things like you better do this or ____.
Good on you for standing up for yourself.
