My nephew was recently taken into custody by the state for mental and drug related issues. He is my sisters son who is divorced from the father, his father & new wife had him committed, in her(fathers new wife) affidavit my name was brought up to make our side of the family look bad. She stated that "he(I) smokes pot every day", this is false. I haven't smoked daily for 8 years, but do occasionally, I've used less than 5 times in the last year. I live with my mother and sister so I have two people to back up my story.
This is incriminating to me, none of us understand why my name was brought up in this in the first place, I've never met this women. Do I have a case for slander? Could this be considered perjury since the statement isn't true? Even though I have used a hand full of times? Any advice on this matter would be much appreciated, thank you.
