What to do if I have been separated from my ex-wife for 9 months and she has recently hacked into my email account and locked me out of it?
She also tried to hack into my other email accounts but wasn’t successful. The account that she hacked was my gmail, which was linked to my google voice account. She went in, read my texts, and then, because a text contained my Sprint phone account password, logged into one of my cell phone account and added features to my phone, including blocking incoming calls. She used my text messaging to call friends of mine, telling them that she was my current girlfriend as well as contacting and soliciting a prostitute using my number. Do I have any recourse?

If your former wife did what she did, you have several options as follows as your legal recourse:
1. report her to law enforcement. What she did was a criminal act under state and federal law;
2. consult with a business attorney over the possibility of filing a civil action against her for damages.
