Post: Defamation of Character/Libel
Posted by Margaret on 12/29/06
In the course of asking my ex to pay his bills and refinance the mortgage on the house note, as ordered by the court he has told his attorney to inform the courts that I am unstable and should not see the children and has since prevented me from seeing them. A state investigation was ordered and it was determined that the children are just fine with me and there were no issues of concern at all. However, since that investigation he has had a drinking buddy of his, who is a social worker, write that I am unstable and an imminent threat even though, he never interviewed me or saw me except for one moment that when on one of they "weekends away from kids" the buddy waved "hello" from the car. when my ex dropped them off. Aside from the fact that I never saw this person professionally, or met him face to face, or talked with him at all under any circumstances .. the fact that the LCSW is a bar buddy of my ex's and the girlfriend puts in a severe conflict of interest. At my attorney's recommendation and to satisfy the courts and counter the assertions made in the written statement of the social worker beer buddy, I saw a court approved psychiatrist, who examined myself. Additionally, the forensic psychiatrist would examine the children to determine what needs to be done to heal the relationship damage that has been caused by all of this baloney. Needless to say the psychiatrist completely countered the LCSWs allegations and 'letter'. that he wrote that up for the courts. My question is this: Am I entitled to sue the LCSW for defamation of character and libel .. based on the statement which was used as testimony against me, since he never once interviewed me or talked with me at all an since he had a pre-existing personal relationship with parties involved and there exists direct evidence to the contrary?
