What are grounds for a defamation of character lawsuit? What can come of it? Same for slander.
I was pulled into court because of a false report. It was civil court, and the PPO that was on me was dropped only to have a restraining order now placed on me that bears the exact same thing as the PPO stated. I want my life back, the report was filed 3 weeks after the last time i had spoke with the individual and there have been many attempts from them to get me arrested, i have many people telling me the this idividual has started claiming that i have been beating on them threatening them and stalking them. I am persuing a career in law enforcement, i currently work for the DNR PRB. I want my life back, is there anything in defatmation or slander that can help me? If not, what should i do ?

Statements in these kinds of cases are absolutely privileged, meaning you cannot sue for defamation.

If you feel you are being maliciously prosecuted, go see a tort lawyer.
