Sam,

Sadly, sounds like someone has a mental health issue going on.
 
But, on the legal side, this case sounds like it is probably worthy of  
an anti-harassment order.
 
Particularly if there are mental health issues, a lawyer (or client)  
can first write, advise in writing of the problems and concerns with  
harassment, try to acknowledge the EX's concern that they were not  
dealt with fairly by court in divorce proceeding (assume that is the  
case as to how they feel) but that, client was not involved. Make an  
effort to be semi neighborly although there is an intent to flip  
property.  Then warning that antiharassment protection will be sought.  
 
If not effective, client can Petition for and secure an Antiharassment  
Order with or without a lawyer.
