It is sickening having to have the police involved, but I suspect your L knows best. It is best to be safe. I saw what happened to my brother when his ex-W and evil MIL began the D without his knowlege. He was gone working and they cleaned out the house and took his S2 and he did not see the S2 for several months, and when he did, it was under supervision with the MIL smiling as if she had won something.
So I guess your L is taking the strike hard and strike fast stategy. Keep in mind that you can always tell the L to back off if things are not going the way you want them too.
Who knows, this might be considered the final last resort technique - shock and awe could cause her to come to an awakening of what she is doing to your family. I believe that me filing D in my situation has now caused my W to come around to the point of wanting to come back, but I dont know if I want her back now.
