Keep the proof and go to the police to have the person arrested so that you can get an order of protection. No one should be harassed and it is not wise to confront people, harass them in return, or get into a fight about it as you might get arrested.

You could go to court to obtain a restraining order. It is a fairly simple procedure but would require you to appear on Court at some point to explain exactly what is going on. Attorneys can make the appearance with you and guide you along the way as well.

Get a protective order. Harrassment is illegal and once you get a court order on top of that, violation is contempt of court.

Get a lawyer and file a case in Family Court seeking a restraining order against harassment. If his divorce decree already has a restraining order against harassment, file an action for contempt of court. If they were never married, a restraining order from a magistrate.

It sounds like you need a protective order. If she is threatening physical violence, he can go to court and do it himself. If it is other than that, he may need to consult an attorney.
