Re: Threat of being sued for slander
There are several issues regarding the proper forum, but assuming she files suit in California then you would be compelled to defend yourself and your rights.
Whether she will collect anything is a different issue, but it is not difficult for a complaint to be filed forcing you to defend the matter.
Please feel free to call on me (my name is Katch) if you need any assistance in defending this matter.
