What to do if my ex-husband hacked into my e-mail account and sent it out illegally?
My email was just read by my ex husband and then sent to my fiancee. He did this without my permission. I’m not even sure how he got into it since we’ve been divorced for 6 years and live in separate areas with little to no contact. I want to bring up charges against him, since I feel this is a complete invasion of my privacy. Do I need to contact an attorney first? And, if so, what ind of attorney?

You first have to report the incident to the police for them to determine if there is probable cause that a crime was committed by your husband. If so, then the police will then pass this information on to the prosecutor to determine if criminal charges will actually be filed against your ex-husband in this matter.
