I am not quite sure if this is the right forum to post this question, but here goes:
A friend of mine, Chaz, is involved in a custody dispute. The mother's father, Fred, has chosen to involve himself. They have tried on numerous occasions to have him charged and/or arrested on various false allegations. Most recently, our landlord brought to our attention a letter he received from Fred in which Fred has compiled information from past landlords about judgements against my Chaz. He is encouraging the current landlord to evict Chaz. He also encouraged the new landlord to join in a joint lawsuit he is trying to arrange against Chaz pursuant to these issues he already has judgements against him for. What are Chaz's rights in this situation? Should he merely file a harassment restraining order, ask for a cease and desist order against Fred, or can he actually file charges and sue? If so, what charges would he be citing on the cease and desist order or filing for in the lawsuit?
