Is this defamation

[fedupmom]

My ex-husband and I have a 6 yr old boy together. For the last five years, he has made false complaints to DHS, Police deparments, and to our childs doctors, and teachers of abuse, neglect etc. There has been several investagations and all have been unsubstantiated. There has been many court hearings for change of custody due to the above complaints, without sucess. I finally asked for a psychological eval. that we both completed. His vistation with our child was order to be supervised and overnight visits with our child was revoked until he received counsling stating he was better. He continues to meet with our childs teachers and doctors and accuses me of abuse. Is this defamation?

If I say yes what do you plan to do? Your going to sue him? Does he have money? How were you damaged? Note damages are usually physical injuries, lost of job, lost of income etc.

I don't know if i would sue, but the harm has mostly mental. I live in a very small town. I have spent the last 5 yrs in court trying to defend myself, when I have done nothing wrong. I have spent thousands of dollars paying attorneys just to prove i am a good mom. I have missed work. It does cause a great amount of stress, not only on me, but my entire family. I just need to know what i can do to make him stop, even if that means to sue him.
