The legality of contacting an ex's child, and what do you think?

[philibert63]

I am recently divorced from a woman who is not my child's mother.
We have been divorced now for 1 month exactly and I found out that this woman is contacting my 12 year old daughter. This is either by text messages or by phone calls (my daughter has her own cell phone). I have told this woman when she left the family to not contact me or my daughter. I even went as far as to block her on facebook on mine and my daughters accounts.
Given they have been in contact with each other - not much but they have been. The latest being two days ago.
When I found out about this, I read the text messages the ex sent and they are stating how she has a new boyfriend, how he was young (since I am a bit older then her), how he was wonderful and amazing (even though the most they could have been together is 3 weeks), how she basically has spent the weekend with him (since she lives about an hour away and her new boyfriend is local to me, and she stated how she has been in the local area all weekend - I am sure she didnt get a hotel.....), and pictures were sent.
It made me very upset that 1) a continuing relationship was going on without my knowledge, 2) that this relationship was with someone who cheated on me and hurt me and though I tried to make it work she eventually left the family, 3) that jokes and maligning comments were made at my expense, 4) that she is informing my daughter of things she doesnt need to know about (ie. the new boyfriend in less then a months time, and her activities.
I am wondering what do you think about these actions?
Why she would be doing this?
and
What are the legal actions she could face (I have heard this and that but I am wondering actual true actions that if told by the uncooperating law official, that I can say "No, by law you have to because of yadda yadda yadda")
I am just curious as to why and also just dont think that it is right to put my daughter in this spot, and though I have tried to protect her (deleted the ex's number from her phone, and blocked her on facebook).
BTW, if you are a person of legal knowledge (police officer, lawyer, or whatever), the state this is occurring is Mississippi
Thanks

Hi,

First off, you divorce spouces, not children. If she still has a relationship with your daughter then that seems nice to me.

Now, if you think that they are discussing inappropriate things then you will need to speak to both your daughter and your ex but I don't think that any legal charges should be brought up.

It doesn't sound like she is doing anything illegal.
