That's right; you're correct.

We have lived here with their permission for 6 years. He(father in law) gets drunk and harasses us and tells us that he'll sell the property we live on. Could we be forced to leave the property? Mother in law is not in agreement with him.
Without knowing all the details of the arrangement and just going off of what you have described here, it sounds as though they could make you leave if they wanted to, since they own the land. If that were the case, you could take the mobile home with you, since you own that. -Homer P. Jordan IV,... Read more »
Called the persons death a possible overdose when every test came back clean.
A death certificate serves as evidence only of (1) the death itself and (2) the immediate agency (reason) of the death. Other conclusions, such as those regarding the events leading up to the death or whether the cause of death was intentional or accidental, are not admissible. Swanson v. State,... Read more »

Not the type of case we handle.
Sorry.
That person could be charged with a crime.
I found a lot of false information in my "incident report" filled out by the police department covering my case. Can i file suit against those who made the false allegations?
If the criminal charges are dismissed you may be able to sue the employer for false arrest.

Defamation generally requires some form of communication to a third person (someone other than yourself). This can be in the form of spoken words, social media post, email, letter, article, etc. An employment law attorney might be able to provide more meaningful insight about some of the other...

You have the power to end the situation. You can change your email and create a new facebook profile that is not public. If she is a pain in the ass just ignore her and cut her off from communication. If there is an active custody case between your husband and her there is usually a clause in... Read more »
I haven't received paperwork. The accusations haven't been proved true. Is this legal for them to do? Can I sue for this? I feel like this is defamation of character and slandering my name. He has not legitimized my son either. I haven't received any kind of paperwork from the DFACS... Read more »
You will need to fight the dependency allegations to regain custody. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible.
I’m in high school and theirs a ongoing investigation to see if I stole something or not. I did not steal the items I’m accused of. But my teacher is constantly telling students and other teachers that I’m a thief (isn’t that consistent slander?) because now people look at me differently.... Read more »
You can file a law suit alleging slander. You will have to prove the teacher made an untrue statement and you suffered damages as a result. If you are in fact under investigation, that fact is true.
The person is my boyfriend's ex's mother and I have found out the department is now going after her, but I want to know where I should go from here to protect myself and my children.
There is nothing for you to do at this time. The department will take care of it. If anything arises in the future, speak to counsel.

You need to talk to an attorney. You need to bring your custody papers with you when you do. You also need to take a copy of this safety plan, as you may have messed up and agreed to the safety plan unwittingly.
Consult with an attorney who handles slander/libel/defamation cases. You have directed this question to criminal defense attorneys.

If you had an AGREEMENT, you could take the property owner to small claims court, to enforce the agreement. The type of claim, if any, that you had, is called quantum meruit, and has to be taken in a court of equity. For most courts in America, that filing fee would greatly exceed you bill.... Read more »
You can tell it was broken from their side due to the spreading of dirt from an in ground pool being installed. Their yard is at least 6 inches taller than mine.
What is your economic harm, in this case? Did their claims cost you your job? Or, is it just the fence repair?
Sounds like fence repair, to me. Sue them in small claims court, for the fence costs. The judgement will prove who was telling the truth.
If what is being stated is not truthful, possibly. Simply reporting that the woman talked about you FACING charges is not libelous. Certain mean-spirited people THRIVE off trying to diminish others.

Tell him, in email and text to not contact you further. Then, block his number on your phone.
Then, record any and all communications after that, for police to see later.
Monitor any social media. If he makes false claims about STD, you can sue him.

It sounds like a crime, and possibly is a crime. Various statutes control such harassing behavior, even if it is being done to another party.
