Q: Can my sister counter-sue her ex-boyfriends girlfriend.
So on 7/19/18 my sister had told her ex boyfriend that she was coming over to his and his girlfriends house. She got to the house knocked a few times and left. Went around the block and noticed he was in the yard. She pulled up and his current girlfriend came out accusing her of trying to break into her house so she called the cops and filled a report and my sister was arrested yesterday. But was let out with bond. She has court tomorrow. Can she countersue her for falsly accusing a break in which she did not. She also had her 7 year old daughter with her at the time.
A: Rather than worrying about counter suing at this point, it sounds like she needs to consult with an attorney regarding her own arrest. If it is shown through her case there was false allegations, then she may have a case for malicious prosecution.
