Nothing can hack your iPhone from a camera, at least not unless the iPhone is jailbroken in which case all sorts of bad things are possible.
If your iPhone is set up with Family Sharing, then you can remove yourself:
Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support.
But Family Sharing or parental restrictions doesn't give her access to information on your phone; it only allow her to block various functions and apps. The only way she could have access to photos, contact, etc absent having physical access to the phone and knowing its passcode is if you have them synced with iCloud and she has (or had) your Apple Account information.
You may wish to consider resetting your iPhone to factory settings. This may be unnecessary, but it should help ease your fears.

We cannot help you with a lawyer. However, I'm guessing that she is setting restrictions on your device? If that is the case, does she have access to your Apple ID? Are you part of a Family Sharing setup? If she has access to your Apple ID, first thing to do is change your password, and make sure she does not know your passcode on your phone.
I did change it. There is technology that can hack you from your camera I read. She has my father’s phone on parental control and he’s 75. It is insane. I called my bank yesterday and saw a screenshot popped up to get a picture of my bank PIN code.
How do I remove parental control app from iPhone?
