Is this a case for slander?
A little background, my sister and her husband are going through a nasty divorce where the custody of a 5 year old and a house is involved. Now my sisters husband, to get her upset will confront her and say that my mother and I have been talking bad about him to people that he knows. Me personally I have been staying out of it and live in another county and don't know anyone that he knows, never the less the last thing that I want to talk about is the issues that they are going through. As for my mother, she is, to say the least, foaming at the mouth to talk bad about him but has refrained. The husband has stated numerous times that he has heard from people that my mother is talking bad about him, but the people that he says she supposedly said this stuff to she hasn't ever met, or has seen or talked to in years. Now his family is talking bad about her and she Is there anything that she can do?

Any insight is appreciated.

I had a feeling that there was no basis for a "suit" as I am not looking for any kind of compensation, but is there any kind of cease and desist or something that can be done to make him stop making these false claims? This can be a little annoying since this is a small town where just about everyone knows everyone and it causes awkward confrontations with people asking why you said this or that.

Thank you.
 
Feel free to write any kind of letter you want.

However, as was correctly pointed out, no damages, no case.
 
Wrong thread
