I'm a victim of false accusations.
It cost me over 100k in the custody battle. Every cent was worth it and I now have full custody, but I lost years of a relationship with my child. She tried so hard to ruin my life but after multiple frivolous civil lawsuits and CPS investigations alongside the custody battle the truth emerged.
I didn't react. I didn't play into her ploys. I kept a level head. I worked on bettering myself rather than dropping to her level. Despite all that it was the single darkest and hardest times I've ever endured. I'm extremely fortunate that I had a good outcome but I'm afraid that isn't the norm.
False accusations are extremely dangerous.
dint you sue for libel and slander?
Nope.
I've consulted with an attorney and they were very confident I would win. The problem is that I would essentially be spending a lot of money for a piece of paper. She already owes me tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees that I will likely never see. Any additional judgement would just go on the pile. You can't get blood from a rock.
I feel it would be better to spend that money giving my kid have a better life.
