My brother's exgirlfriend of 8 years is threating to sue him for things that were his and things given to them as a couple, two reclining chairs given to him by his friends, dishes, a pair of speakers, and money in which she gave him actual cash to fix the car (which is in his name) but they both used and were still dating at the time. Also, she had a car entering the relationship and he always bought parts and paid for it to be fix and gave her money, so that would be even, NO? All of their transactions with each other was in cash and there are no reciepts.

To explain in further detail she cheated numerous times and he told her he wanted to end the relationship. Also, he caught her stealing cash from him and did not wish to continue dealing with it and knew he could legally do nothing. She chose to move one day soon after while he was at work, she took whatever she wanted and came back on numerous occassions there after to take what she wanted while he wasn't home. In doing so she ruined the lenolium floor moving out a washing machine, this was later taken out of his deposit. After the floor was ruined he asked the landlord to change the locks as the lease was up and only he was on a monthly agreement at that time, the landlord did so.

During their 8 years she had only worked 1 year of it, so he was always paying for her and all the bills, he is asking nothing but to be left alone. She is mentally unstable and harasses him calling him and threating him all the time, this is just a attack to get back at him.

My question is should he worry, can she take this said stuff, how can he prepare himself and what should he say or not say? I believe slandering is not allowed, but can he mention that he feels this is an action to get revenge?

Oh yeah, she is going to have a few of her friends and family as witnesses, they intend to lie for her that the stuff is hers. Not that it can be proved either way. Does this matter?

Your brother should get ready all evidence and witnesses he can find……even the land lord who can testify to his payments……..I don't think if your story is accurate and provable to a reasonable extend she can win. It seems like she might just be trying to get back at him…………Judges see this everyday and would easily pick it out……..I don't think he should be worried if he has his own witnesses and evidence. Preparation is key………he should write down things he remembers he also did and witnesses who can highlight the fact that they both helped each other and acted as a couple. That would make her claims unreasonable and to be viewed as gifts at best.
