Until you actually hear from a lawyer or court official, you don't really know that this might end in court. If you ever suspect this might end up in court, at that time you should consider getting real legal advice from a real lawyer, not from anonymous posters on some internet board

Should this end up in court, you don't have any idea how anything you have said or done might play before a judge. If you haven't said or done anything, there might be less of an interpretation problem. So if you don't know anything about the topic, then be very thankful you don't know anything about it: try to avoid learning about it, and try not to get sucked in. Avoid extensive & emotional responses to accusations. If you really really can't avoid a response, at least keep your response factual and limited. And for heavens sake avoid bad-mouthing him to other people!

Meanwhile, document for yourself in a systematic way his efforts to contact you. Save whatever letters or emails he sends you. If he calls, document the phone call accurately and with zero spin
