Question QUESTION: My soon to be ex wife is starting problems for me. I am currently Deployed to Iraq and my soon to be ex wife is has started calling my rear detachment and saying things like I haven't been giving her money for our child and that my " girl Friend is suppose to pay her" . This is all a lie , cause I have been sending her money for our child and the girl she is calling a girl friend is not in a relationship with me . This friend helps me out with support dealing with this divorce cause she is trying to make me look like a monster to my child and to the courts. Her calling rear detachment is getting me in trouble with my 1sg and my commander here in Iraq cause they don't want to believe I been paying her and that I am not in a relationship with this friend. Is there any thing I can do to stop her from calling my rear detachment and stop her from causing me trouble with my command. This is getting out of had and is affecting my career majorly . Please help
ANSWER: Yes, the offense of harassing communications is a Class A misdemeanor. You can call the police to handle this. They won't arrest her, but it might get her to stop.
You can also have your lawyer seek a restraining order against her preventing any contact - that has a little more teeth and tends to be enforceable.
I hope this has helped. Good luck to you and thank you for being in our military.
Sincerely,
Terri

QUESTION: I have another question in Oct 2006 we had gotten into a verbal agrument and she happened to call the MPS stateing I hit her. When they came they arrested me saying she said I punched her in the face. Which luckly I had a friend there the whole time and ,she wrote a statement saying I did not hit my wife . the wife wrote a statement saying I had hit her but thru investageion the MPs found there was no proof of this on her person. She then filed for divorce Dec 2006 stateing I chocked her that night . Both are lies what can I do if any legal actions or have the courts see its false
Answer If you have an independent witness, that is very important to proving innocence in court as well as the MPs investigation.
This is truly out of my field, so please talk with your lawyer (who hopefully has expertise in false spousal abuse allegations).
