What course of action may I take as a victim of this abuse of the law? Am I able to sue the individuals and/or can they be arrested for lying to LE and their harassment?

In my opinion, this is a more passive but just as serious type of domestic violence. The same advice goes for you as for a victim of the more active and violent type of domestic violence.

...to cause problems AFTER she was served the stalking injunction. Will the state attorney likely view this as a violation of injunction? (in Florida)

An expunged record should not be for all to be viewed.
answered on Mar 12, 2023
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do so. The reason why is because of the proliferation of aggregate record sites that operate by pulling public records from various sources. All that an expungment does is correct the official record; it does nothing for the third-party commercial websites... Read more »

I see three remedies:
1. A construction lien. I am not going to write up all of the steps because it is somewhat complicated and we don't have enough facts to determine whether the remedy is available.

I want to find out who lied and made these horrific accusations because now I'm being investigated for lies. It's embarrassing because cps is telling everyone what I'm being investigated for and it's all a LIE.
answered on Mar 5, 2023
Finding out who is going to be tricky, if you don’t already know who it is. CPS will not disclose the identity of the informant and legally they cannot be required to do so. But it may become obvious to you during the course of the investigation.
I would urge the attorney representing... Read more »

No, the mere fact that three people or informants claim the same story against you does not guarantee a criminal conviction. In order to be convicted of a crime, the prosecution must prove all the elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. This means that the prosecution must present... Read more »
