Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
my bf broke up with me and began bashing my name on facebook, posting humiliating comments about very private and personal things about me. in which my children seen, my son actually commented on some and asked him why he was doing this. He was on there telling everyone that i was a thief and stole some jewelry, (in reality his sister passed and he gave it to me). He also threatened me and a friend of mine on a post that he was going to make him and I a corpse. We both belong to a group that meets everyday at the same time. I received mess. saying that you are not longer wanted on here. When I did go to the group out of many people only 1 acknowledged me. making it very obvious that his comments made them against me. i no longer go to the group. He accused me on there of sleeping with minors. (UNTRUE), that could get someone in alot of trouble, The people i live with he has messaged her and told her that I was stealing money from them.(another lie) And this is the only place i have to stay. he almost got me kicked out of here. 3 wks after we broke up i went out. he found out and posted all over to FB and left a mess. for my son that I was out being a whore. there are many more incidents. I have saved posts dating back a yr ago. from slandering my name to threats. He is obviously doing this in the hope to make my life as miserable as possible.. What are my legal rights if any, and what if any are the penalties for his behavior on this. thank you very much

Check with your local domestic violence help center. You should be able to obtain a restraining order against him. If you can afford to retain an attorney, you should consider retaining an attorney to help you with this process.
