Q: Can I sue my grandson’s mother for harmful lies she tells about me? She is trying to alienate me from my grandson.
My grandsons mother has alienated my son. Now she is beginning the hateful vicious lies about me. I am 66 years old. My grandson and I have a very close bond. He loves his grandma and I love him. His mother doesn’t seem to care about the abuse she is causing to her son
She does not secure him in a moving vehicle she has had him with her while she door dashes leaves him in the car by himself she texts and drives while he is in her vehicle she takes selfies while she is driving with him in the car.
My grandsons mother needs mental help she is emotionally hurting my grandson
She had my grandson calling her ex husband daddy now she has my grandson calling her boyfriend daddy
She has eliminated several people out of my grandsons life that he loves very much. She has sabotaged my relationship with my daughter. This woman tells lies and she gets away with it. She is so mean and hateful
Because of her I suffer from acute anxiety a heart attack and sleepless nights losing my grandson
A:
Yes, anyone can sue for anything at any time.
The issue, in my opinion, is whether you can find a lawyer to accept the case on a contingency. That means the lawyer would not get paid unless the case settles/goes to trial with a verdict for you.
I think you will have a difficult time getting a lawyer and if you do..........COLLECTING ANY MONEY. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SHE HAS ASSETS.
however, you may not be looking for money and just to get her ordered to do what is in the kids best interest. Again, will a lawyer take a case like this other than on an hourly?
