Legal Question in Family Law in California

Domestic Violence

My ex-college was in love with me in college but iw asn't aware of that. By the time she told me and i could do anything she got engaged. After her marriage, we start talking causally and she was not at all happy with her husband and she still love me and we got in relationship with her still married to that guy. In 1.5 years of relationship she many times wanted to stop this and then again comeback to me with her marriage and daily problems to share with me and this is how things start over again and again. Now one day her husband call me and said I am stalking his wife and he is threating me of complaining to INS, my employer and getting me deported. I used to call her at office and used to go to see her.

Please advice.

Re: Domestic Violence

If she is willingly seeing you, and you are not following her, spying on her, or calling her when she has made it clear not to, it cannot be stalking. What he has said to you comes very close to the crime of extortion and a threat to commit slander. Assuming there is no basis for his claim, I would warn him that he doesn't know what stalking is and if he carries through on his threats, he may end needing a lawyer because you will take some kind of legal action against him. Adultery is not a crime in California, and, even if it were, she is committing it, not you. Also, California is a "no fault" divorce state and adultery does not have any impact on a divorce.
