It is important to remember that if you are considering divorce to first contact an experienced attorney rather than the police or 911 dispatcher. A 42-year old Pennsylvania woman was recently cited for disorderly conduct and misusing the Erie County 911 system after requesting that the dispatcher provide “emergency assistance” to make her husband leave their home because she wanted a divorce. The police accurately explained to the woman that a divorce is a civil matter and that they could not force her husband to leave their marital residence because no crime had been committed.
