It's Defamation of Character. Defamation is either slander
(spoken words) or libel (written words). You can take her
to court for anything you want. Suing and winning are 2
different things. And collecting any damages you might win
is a different world.

With or without a lawyer, your chances on everything in ia
courtroom are 50/50.

You can take them to a therapist unless your court order for
custody makes her the primary caregiver and the one
authorized by the court order to make all medical decisions
for the children. (Of course, emergencies are always
excluded from medical decisions, but a therapist could
hardly be construed as an emergency situation.)

What can you do: Stop using the word "fighting" where your
children are concerned. Stop making this all about Y-O-U.
Stop making an isue of what your children call you or their
mother or her BF. Stop thinking about the $$ of a lawyer &
hire an attorney if you want changes in your visitation
and/or custody. Stop asking for important legal advice on a
chatboard & seek legal advice from a professional. Stop
making this all about Y-O-U. Make this all about your
children. Period!
