Any input from the psychological side? I am not sure what you mean by that.

Although I haven't had a divorce My close friend went through a divorce 6 years ago and it was BITTER. They had children, assets.. the whole situation was embellished with plenty of fights and insults and yes, threats. That is not uncommon in a divorce, honestly.

He made a pretty bad call bringing his profession in to support a threat he made but honestly his comment itself was a bit vague and didn't actually imply he would use his position to abuse the system (at least from the way it was relayed here) but rather he learned from his job what is required to commit someone. In general. There is no real abuse of power in that comment... yet. Hopefully his mouth was just flapping and he doesn't act on it. Then you would definitely have reason to act against him. Although if he did make an attempt.. it probably wouldn't work.

But he still seems like a huge jerk, for sure.
