subject: Fight False Allegations with a Tort Lawsuit [print this page] Did you know if you are hit with a false charge of domestic or sexual abuse, you can fight back in a civil court with a tort lawsuit? Many fathers don't know that or believe they cannot sue their ex-wives. But you can and you should. Defamation of character and emotional damage are just a few of the things you can sue for. If you are filing a tort suit, you might want to include the following:
Statutory Violations If any local statutes have been violated, you need to point this out.
Fraud, Misrepresentation and Concealment Conspiracy This is where you are basically stating that the damages that you have listed have been caused by the fraud against you.
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress For this suit, you list all the facts that point to the fact that your Ex is doing this on purpose, and intentionally desires to cause you harm and distress.
Invasion of Privacy Public Disclosure of Private Facts Here is where you state that you now look bad and damages have been caused due to unwarranted public disclosure of private facts because of the false allegations.
Invasion of Privacy False Light Point out that you are being represented in a false light to your family, business relationships and the community at large due to the false allegations.
Interference with Advantageous Relationships You are suing because there has been damage to third party relationships such as work contacts. The allegations are interfering with these relationships.
Malicious Prosecution No one should be able to make malicious accusations and get away with. In this section, you are stating that your Ex should be held accountable for her actions of purposely steamrolling a court battle.
Declaratory Judgment and Irreparable Damage These are two other areas you may want to cover in your tort lawsuit. Not everything can be fixed.
Prayer for Relief Make a plea for relief from the problem, state the amount you are suing for and wrap everything up.
