Q: Can I sue my divorce lawyer for deformation? She reached out to opposing consule and threatened I was going to call CPS.
I reached out to my lawyer to ask her advise and I specifically said no I could never call cps on him. I had no clue she then turned around and threatened his lawyer that I was prepared to call cps on him. I had no idea of this till after my divorce was over. This lead to a spiral of events during the divorce preceding
A: Unlikely. If you found out only after the divorce was finalized, how would you 1) prove she in fact did this, and 2) it caused you some damage, considering as part of the settlement, you made a record that you were satisfied to a certain extent with the outcome.
