I have a question regarding Defamation of character. Recently, my husband began going through a custody battle with his ex-wife. In her response to his petition(in writing), she accused me of the following: accused me of damaging her car, mentally abusing her son, not being mature enough to be a mother, no goals or ambitions in life, and being in a home where domestic violence occurs.

Now, the reason I am concerned is because several of these comments were malicious in intent. There is no proof or documentation to any of these allegations. I currently volunteer in a Senior citizen home, as well as, pursuing my Nursing Degree(Pediatric). Her comments could possibly damage my future career, and my current volunteer efforts.

My question is, what are my rights, and does this constitute defamation of character or slander?

Thanks,

Mrs. Lewis
