Mallon, 31, of Glamorgan Road, Ipswich admitted five offences of breaching a restraining order.
Jailing him for 12 months Judge John Devaux said he had harassed his former wife and ordered that the restraining order, which would have expired in November this year, should continue until November 2010.
Lynn Shirley for Mallon said Mallon had breached the court order because he suspected his ex-wife was seeing someone else and wanted to know the truth.
She said that Mallon now accepted the relationship was over and had started divorce proceedings.
