Grounds for a libel/slander suit?

[blr1142]

If someone has named me in interrogatories as "the other woman" which is not true during the course of their marriage, do I have grounds for a suit?

I know testimony cannot be used as grounds for slander, but I don't know the answer when it's questions in interrogatories. You can ask a lawyer in your state.

However, you have to prove damages beyond outraged/hurt feelings. I doubt you have any. Take some deep cleansing breaths and move on.
