I dont know if this is a computer question... trying to scrub my email trail...

My wife is in jail right now for DV, 2 felonies...I'm trying to get the DA to raise it to an attempted murder charge.

In the meantime, I am taking down socials, getting direct contacts with friends set up and working on changing all my accounts.
Most everything is tied to one gmail address.

Can I make another one and "re-direct" like a website?
Or should I re-do every account I have?
I am afraid I will miss something...

My goal is to basically make it so I cease to exist...people can email that acct but it will go "nowhere"

Is this a possibility?
Does anyone have experience with basically putting themselves into witness protection?

I'm also going to close up my house for the winter and go live in a different city. I figure most legal stuff can be done via Zoom now, and if I have to jump on a plane that's ok too...

...and try to make sure she can't post bail...and maybe raise the charges to attempted murder.

But yes, she has noplace to go, literally. I flew her out here from GA because she was in a "bad roommate situation" and I "rescued" her...she got me to marry her and ran off my children, so if I died...she'd get it all.

… and they want to cut someone out, better to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s with legal help. People who are married to one another have certain legal rights, and California is a community property state. Our daughter has made more than one bad marriage, and her ex who is the father of her 13 year old son and stepfather of her 20 y.o. son is a real piece of work. He has a special paragraph all his own in the trust indicating that under no circumstances is he to have a say in the disposition of whatever we leave to our grandsons.

If the OP’s marital situation were mine I would institute no-fault divorce proceedings immediately and under no circumstances leave the state until that was done. Change the locks on the house.

I apologize. DV situations trigger me.
