How long after an altercation can my ex press charges?

Yes.

11 months is not too late. ?But, a private individual cannot "press" charges. Nor can the police. Only the District Attorney can charge someone with a crime. A private individual or the police can request that the D.A. file charges. But, the D.A. is not obligated to do so. The decision to charge or not to charge is solely at the discretion of the D.A. Consult with your attorney.

Until the statue of limitations runs.

This kind of NONSENSE goes on all the time when couples are breaking up. Tell ex that you'll sue him for "defamation" and "malicious prosecution." Does he work? If you win you can garnish his wages. Show him aq copy of this email and tell him to GROW UP!

With the passage of 11 months time since the alleged incident, and based upon the facts as you have discussed, there is no prosecutor that will file the case. He can threaten all he wants, but it is not him who files the charges. It is the prosecutor. He is simply saying what he is and threatening you because he wants to continue to maintain some kind of control or influence or power over you. Thank goodness you are not on the new lease, because when he defaults, which he probably will, you, not being on the lease, are not obligated. Clearly, you are better off without him.

As a former assistant prosecutor, I would be highly surprised if breaking and entering charges would be authorized against you. First, the incident arises out of a civil dispute: Your marriage/divorce. Second, you were paying the rent on the apartment which had been your marital home and STILL contained some of your personal property (you were allowed to take some of it, right?). I doubt a prosecutor would want to present such an issue to a jury. You should, however, discuss this matter with an experienced divorce attorney, and your judgment should contain some language that it resolves all issues, civil and criminal, between the parties. That would put the issue to rest.

Not likely anyone will listen to him.

He cannot "press charges". Only the state can file criminal charges and it does not sound like any charges are likely in any event.

How long after ?? Misdemeanors for a year, felonies for one to seven years, depending upon the Penal Code section.

He cannot bring criminal charges against you. He can report the incident to the police and they will investigate and make a report. The police report would then be turned over to the prosecuting attorney who decide if any criminal charges should be brought. Only the prosecuting attorney can authorize criminal charges.

Although the Statute of Limitations has not run yet, I would be shocked if the police would pursue this case given the facts you described.

That would be 1 year.

Possible, but highly unlikely that the State Attorney would file any charges in this matter as it is a civil dispute, if that.

You still had a key. You had been a tenant. You were still married. I don't see a prosecutor charging you or a jury convicting you. He is just a jerk.
