HOW HARASSMENT COULD IMPACT YOUR DIVORCE
Sometimes, a spouse’s behavior becomes intolerable, crossing into the territory of harassment. When this happens, you do have recourse. Harassment can include a wide range of abusive or disturbing behaviors. This could include threats, stalking, destroying property, and calling multiple times with the intent to annoy or disturb you. It isn’t confined to physical or sexual violence. In some instances, a spouse may even attempt to harass their ex through litigation. We’ve seen plenty of cases where an angry spouse tries to file a bunch of superfluous motions just to cause their ex stress or to rack up legal fees. Fortunately, California courts don’t stand for this kind of behavior. Using the court system to abuse or punish a spouse is known as being a “vexatious litigant.” According to the California Code of Civil Procedure, judges may institute a wide variety of sanctions against a vexatious litigant.
Understand that harassment is against the law and can open the perpetrator to criminal charges. These charges aren’t always as easy to handle in criminal court. This is one reason why a restraining order can be so valuable. Police can intervene based on violations of the terms written in the order. This is easy to demonstrate and doesn’t rely on scant evidence and subjective accounts. Restraining orders have several impacts on the divorce process. It will play into certain custody implications and may even play a role in the division of marital property. For example, if a restraining order removes one spouse from the other’s home, the spouse who stays might end up keeping the house. In cases where the victim’s life is in danger, these remedies can help protect the children and the victim. Some people use harassment charges to get the upper hand in their cases. This isn’t a good strategy if you’re the one making false accusations because it can backfire. If your ex accuses you of harassment, you’ll need a great deal of help from your divorce lawyer.
