Harrassment

Hi all,

Needing some advice on dealing with a situation.

I separated from my wife and have started seeing someone.

My ex wife calls and harasses this person and makes repeated calls on private numbers.

I am unsure how to handle this as it is affecting the new relationship I have formed.

Any ideas?

hello no harm, this might sound over the top but the only way you are going to stop your ex from contacting your new partner is a AVO.

Not over the top at all. If that's the only way to do it.

I was thinking a cease and desist letter

How long after did you start seeing someone new?

Wasn't that long after.

It's been 8 months and still causing issues.

Either way harassment of any kind isn't on
