What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Maine
Hi, I am wondering about a defamation suit against a female 'friend' of my soon to be ex-husband. According to my husband of 29 years, this woman expressed an interest in him before he decided to tell me that he wanted a divorce. Since this announcement, she has pursued him on and off for the past 10 months. My husband and I are now entering the settlement stage. During these past emotional and painful months, this woman would call my husband at night and send text messages after we had gone to bed(he left his phone on in the room). At this time we were trying to figure out if we should try to revive the marriage. This woman also sent me an email telling me of her vast experience in these matters and that I should get therapy and move on. I then intercepted an email from her to my husband, accusing me of having multiple affairs (totally not true, faithful all this time) that I was a user and good for nothing. She continued to send him emails telling him that I am a liar and whatever else she thinks I am. I am trying to make the divorce process as peaceful as possible. This woman caused me so much pain throughout this process, loss of work, loss of everything! Now I am just ticked off that she has defamed me so to my husband and who knows who else. By the way, I have never met this woman. I have the written proof of these accusations. Advice?
