What kind of lawyer handles defamation of character lawsuits?
My adoptive mother has made repeated false allegations of child abuse towards me in regards to my 2 children from my previous marriage who reside with her but whom I share custody with. The first case was closed – so then she made another – and then while awaiting that one – she made another about my children whom I have with my current wife. I’ve had to go to counseling to cope with the stress – there is serious strain in my marriage my wife even seems to have gone into depression – my children are suffering all the way around both from my previous marriage and current marriage – subjected to unnecessary questioning, stress, etc
