More details to this question:
My family member is making false and defamatory statements on Facebook about me; can I file a libel suit against her?
1 ANSWER
Yes, but remember that defamation requires a false statement of fact, not opinion. Something like "he's a slimeball" is an opinion and not actionable. Also, depending on exactly what statements have been made, you may need to prove actual damages - how these statements cost you money - to succeed on your claim.
