QUESTION
Can I sue husband ans soon to be separated for defamation of character?
Asked on Oct 20th, 2013 on Personal Injury - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband of less than two years is spreading lies about me. Stating I slept with his best man in our home after said audio recording. He sent this audio to multiple family members and friends. Can I and his best man sue him for defamation of character? My husband sent a text and attached an audio recording to several of my family members and friends. I told him that I was willing to take a lie detector to prove my innocence but he refused and started spreading these lies to several people I know. The recordings are not me nor his best man. It sounds like the TV. What can I do to stop these allegations?

No reason you cant but do you think a jury might give a hoot about someone you chose to marry?

Yes, you can sue him. However, if he doesn't own anything, it may not make much sense. It may be easier to tell everyone that the recording is not you and theat he is spreading lies.

No, but you can include this issue in the dissolution asking for contribution of a better split of property and possible spousal maintenance because this might make it hard for you to have work.

Not in Michigan, because of inter-family immunity.
