I am sorry these events occurred. You can sue anybody for anything. Possible bases for a lawsuit could be libel, slander, and/or invasion of privacy; and could include "vicious lies through email." In general, you have up to two years to sue. Also in general, you can't sue over statements that someone told in court or in connection with court. proceedings. Suing people is expensive and time-consuming, if you are still interested you need to call a lawyer. Watch out for legal time limits.
