What is the name of your state? California
My husband is in the military and we just moved to California in August 2004. My husband was awarded custody of his daughter (shared joint, sole physical) before we moved from Mississppi. In an appeal, his ex-wife, Liz, and her attorney, told the courts that I was my husband's "paramour." In addition, Liz had called my in-laws and said derogatory things about me (before I even met them). She even told them that I was my husband's mistress and caused their separation. She has even called me derogatory names and accused me of this on the phone (which I have recorded). I have two sons with my husband and I am helping to raise my stepdaughter, who is only 7 years old. At what point am I allowed to stand up for myself and say enough is enough.
My husband and I started dating when he was legally separated from Liz and was living in the military barracks. Yes, he was in the midst of a divorce at the time, but I had nothing to do with their separation. In fact, I wasn't even in the state and I have my own military orders to prove that. However, Liz continues to call me and refer to me as a mistress and paramour in front of my children and anyone who will listen. Do I have a right to take her to court to end this, if for nothing else then the sake of my dignity in front of my own children? Any advice is sincerely appreciated.
Sincerely,
Anita
