What is the name of your state? New York

Before you ask, I am not divorcing my husband, we are divorcing his mother.

She/he purchased a home together last year, suddenly three days before the first mortgage payment was due she had no money, then very little money, then moved in her once in prison son whom we were assured would never "ruin her life again and put her into debt" as she stated.

Hubby is in the in Iraq, they lived here for 4 months with no rent, she moved out, and did the following swearing up and down she was going to get me,


Filed a false claim if harassment- it was thrown out, I had proof I was NO WHERE near here, and as a matter of fact passed out at work over all the stress at home at the time,

Called the police to say my daughter was being beatin, she had hives and was screaming because they itched, police had her checked, long time on her medical records also,

Called the police to say she had no heat in her apartment and no electricity, I called the plummer we have a contract with, and SHE told him to use my credit card that was on file!

I have three children- not a joke, she called the police the first time with the lie about harassing her while I was at work passing out- on my oldest birthday

the seconds day we celebrated her birthday- (hives)


I was attacked by her in the backyard and GOT my order of protection, she threatened me and shoved me in front of my children.

and the youngests birthday for the plummer! and ripped me off no less !

I had an electrician confirm that she overloaded the circuit, plummer said that she needed to bleed the line was all- new heating system installed, he was there weeks earlier to check for leaks in the valves and she never answered the door I have that bill from the first visit stating he was there for that reason and she didn't answer the door. She also has a computer, heater, hairdryer and an answering machine all in one plug. When the electrician came, he confirmed the plummers findings. The police told her to do this, call her own service people and to please stop calling them. Or get a lawyer.

Is all of this grounds for defamation of charactor? P.S. when she tried getting her restraining order, it was my boss who noticed the date and time, I had to leave my job (quit) since my home life was keeping me from performing safely on my job. My boss knew I was not home when she said I was, he was busy calling EMS. I was a hi-lo operator.

"Before you ask, I am not divorcing my husband, we are divorcing his mother."

From everything you said in your post, it appears that mom has been calling "authorities".

Being defamed by filing false police reports and such is difficult to prove.

"It means that when reporting a crime, you can tell the police/court just about anything and you have a qualified immunity from being sued for slander/libel."

This is from another responder on this forum. (This question has been discussed repeatedly.)

Anyway, I guess this is not legal advice, so I apologize in advance. Stay away from this woman! She wears me out just reading your post.

Believe me...I have the greatest of sympathy for you. But there is really nothing you can do to stop this kind of behavior.
