A: You didn't ask a question but if you want to know what you should do, I suggest you hire an attorney to represent you. This sounds like serious allegations against you.

You stated that the family is "trying" to take you to court. I'm not sure what that means. If they have already filed a lawsuit, then you must defend the suit, assuming you get served.
