Preliminary opinion: In your situation you should consult as there is a very good possibility that the wife and her father might move a complaint under domestic violence. You should have a lawyer who would talk to your wife for a mutual divorce and could explain the aftermath of a fiercely fought divorce matters so as to makenit clear to you in-laws that you are open for either of the ways and would not be emotionally threatened.

It seems things are not going well between you, your wife and her parents. Just because you have some issues it does not mean she has a right to harass you.

You may discuss your case with us in detail to understand the way out.
