How canI sue my ex for libel, slander and defamation?
He has not only told outright lies about my character, but also disclosed private medical information to mutual friends and perfect strangers. I have proof of in the form of direct messages exchanged between heand my sister, which was unbeknowngst to him. This exchange contradicts actual events and the lies he has spread about me. I would like to know what course of action I am to take and whether or not punitive damages are allowed in my case?
