Can you stop someone taking you to court?

luke.1981

I don't think you can, if the case should not be there in court the judge will throw it out

Itrolla

No. If he has some kind of valid legal beef with you then he can.

You could get a restraining order out against him if things are getting that bad, do you have a solicitor if so contact them and see if there is anything they can recommend

It depends what he is taking you to court for. If the proceedings are malicious and without substance then you may be able to counter sue. See a solicitor.

Divorce law is weird that way. He is probably using the children as a loop hole to continue this behavior. I would consider that you get a good lawyer to look at this situation. As with everything, people take others to court because they want something. Let a good lawyer write a contract for you stating certain boundaries that your ex is not to cross or they will not get what they want. You can put anything into a contract, such as, you agree to not bring court proceedings against me unless this happens etc. A really good lawyer will cost a little more but it may be your only chance at peace of mind.

Example: I worked for a lady lawyer who was on such bad terms with her ex (also a lawyer) that they were court ordered to only communicate by fax! That allowed her to stop him from coming to her work, phoning, and other such disturbances.

You might have to go to court again to file harrassment charges

Check into the laws in your area regarding nuisance litigation.
Good luck to you.

If you have to go to court go never fail to appear...and if he has grounds to sue you every year then that's his right I think the guys an *** personally to sue someone every year and upset the children I would talk to a lawyer about malicious prosecution, most agree to give free consaltations and they let you know what you should do...good luck!

send him a letter tell him you will be taking him to court for herasment

Bluebird

Yes, find a hit man to sort him out, that should then stop you having to go to court each year although you will most likely have to go one more time if you get found out but it should be only the once.

Speak to your solicitor or at least Citizens Advice Bureau. Depending on why he is taking you to court means you may be able to settle out of court. There may be other means that they can advise you of.

Get a solicitor and explain everything to him. Let him know how much this is upsetting the children and ask him if he can find out if your ex is going to fin anything else to disrupt your lives. If you cant afford a solicitor you can get help!

difficult one, you could go to court yourself and get a rstraining order, or go the citizens advice for free advice ??

Do you have a lawyer?
If you do, and you find there is nothing you can do, then laugh it off. Teach your kids to, as well.
Call it a family get-together ,and be happy.
What is he taking you to court for?
Perhaps a lwyer can help you with harrassment issues.
Either way, whoever your lawyer was for the divorce may be your best bet.
First fo all, get a restarining order so he himaself can not contact you or send letters without being in violation.
Are the letters his, or from the court?
Protect yourself.
If you don't, then your doomed to relive this.
You left him, so now stand your ground. It's your job as a woman and as a mom.
Good luck

Go to another state, and behave.

You could do a counter suit against you re ex for defamation of character and harassment charges.its a lengthy process but worth it. Also a restraining order would be nice.

MR R SOLE

There must be a reason why hes taking you to court, is it for the custody of the kids? An owing debt? Whatever it is hire a good solictor, who will sort it out.

Rich

The other people above me seem to have given all the sensible answers (I think the 'harassment' one sounds like the best one to go for). Let me be the first to give you a foolproof but less sensible answer: hire a hitman.

richy

IS THERE A REASON THAT HE IS TAKING YOU TO COURT EVERY YEAR???
IF IT IS NOTHING ILLEGAL THEN FILE HARRASSMENT CHARGES AND GET A RESTRIANING ORDER.
SOMETIMES NOT HAVING HIM AROUND MAY BE BETTER FOR THE KIDS

teecee

there is what is called "out of court settlement" done by mostly rich people including you as well

but your case sounds like its got a lot of issues you did not disclose .

any way

you just need to talk to him find out how best you can settle the issues outside the court . with your solicitors present explore the case all aggreements signed on paper

shannon

get a lawyer ASAP

I suppose it depends on why he keeps taking you to court and whether he is successful in court.

If he is not and these seem to be malicious, time wasting exercises, I would speak to the police about harassment - ensure you have all your evidence to back up your claim.

It would probably be worth seeking legal advice to prove that this chap is wasting your time, that of the courts and probably also the tax payers money. Perhaps he can then be prevented from doing the same in the future.

But you have to take action.

YES THAT IS POSSIBLE, BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT IF HE WANT'S TO TALK THINGS OUT,IF NOT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETING DEGAINST HIM TO DEFEND YOURSELF IN COURT
