A protection order was issued against my minor son by his ex girlfriend. The basis of her complaint was that he raped her a few months previously. No criminal charges were brought against him and in fact the officer serving him the protection order told him not to worry, everyone knew about her. (as an aside this was the 3rd, maybe the 4th time she has falsely accused someone of rape. she accused her previous BF twice!) While this order was in force she would stalk him at school and make him leave wherever he was. The school officials were aware of the situation and of her past. Despite this, some were still rude and unwilling to help my son. These allegations caused an emotional disruption between my son and his best friend. This action was brought by her grandfather on her behalf because she is a minor. Her mother's new boyfriend wrote an anonymous letter to the director of admissions of a university that my son had applied informing them that he was a rapist. Case was thrown out as it was apparent that she was lying. some of her friends testified about the mom's boyfriend and that she thought it was funny that she could disrupt my son's life. I have incurred legal fees in excess of $2,500. for his defense. Are they recoverable, including any additional costs to recover them?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
