I am being stalked/harassed by my exhusband. What do I need for proof?
My exhusband has been stalking/harassing me electronically for years. Closing accounts,
changing passwords, and getting new devices hasn’t helped. What kind of ‘proof’ do I
need to get the law involved? Is there something I can do legally?

You can seek a protective or restraining order against him; you may be able to press charges, as certain of his acts qualify as crimes (e.g. masquerading as you to close accounts or change passwords may be identify theft); you could sue him for any costs or losses you incurred. Speak with a family law attorney, who can help you identify your different options and pursue them; good luck.
