What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
California
My husband and his ex-wife got into a heated argument a few months ago, and she promptly went to the DA's office and told them that he was not paying his child support. The case was closed with DSS about 2 years ago after having difficulties with them sending the checks in a timely fashion, so they agreed to just close the case and he would pay her directly. So, like I said, she told them that he was not paying. They said they were supposed to close the case with the DA, which they did wind up doing a few months ago while they were at the courthouse taking care of another issue. In the meantime, they started garnishing his wages and did not tell him, sent letters to his ship (he's in the Navy), and just within the last few days, he checked his credit and now it is showing up on his credit report as not being paid. All of this is due to her telling an untruth to the District Attorney. Is this a case for libel? We have a copy of every returned check to her from the beginning of when the case was closed, (about 10 of which have her signature forged), as well as copies of returned checks to the DSS{my momma didn't raise no fool!!} Is this a case of defamation/libel?? we can't take much more abuse from this woman!! also, they had a van, which she had possession of, but was in the name of both of them, my husband, being the good soul that he is and believing everyone does the right thing, assumed that she would take care of the payments. She did not, and as a result, the van got repossessed; it is also on his credit report, even though in the divorce papers the van was awarded to her "sole and seperate property." So now we need to re-finance a loan and are unable to due to these inaccuracies created by her.
