What to do if my boyfriend is currently in the process of getting a divorce and his wife has blackmailed him saying if he doesn’t return home she’ll call he police with accusations of child abuse?
He and I have been together a year. He has since left and is pretty much there against his will. She also has hacked into my accounts follows me and calls. We dont know what to do. Is it worth us going to the police station ourselves and reporting her and her false allegations so it’s at least on file? I don’t know what to do.

If you boyfriend has money, hire a private investigator who is computer knowledgeable to confirm she is the source of the hacking. He should tape record all conversations with her, including trying to get her to admit in one of those recorded conversations that she is in fact blackmailing him.
Once the two of you have all the evidence, go to to the police or the district attorney. At this point, it appears some of the accusations (hacking) are pure unsupported speculations.
Finally, in addition, he should consult an attorney who is experienced in defending against child abuse allegations.

There really is not that you can do regarding the situation that you have written about other than sit tight and see what happens. Claims of child abuse are taken seriously and are promptly invesitgated. If the investigation shows nothing then the complainant will be written up by CPS as making a false report.
