Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Defamation/Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress
I want to persue but I cant find a lawyer to help. I know by defination of both laws that I have a solid case. A ''friend'' was telling at least 2 parties awful, UNTRUE things about me. One of the parties was my husband(together 10yrs, married 3, 2 kids)..because of her statements he up and moved out without warning. The truth of what happened recently surfaced and I was horrified to hear all the things she tried to convince him of..and I can PROVE they are untrue. They werent just her opinion..she went as far as trying to state I have a mental disorder. To make her seem believable she printed and highlighted ''attributes'' and gave it to them. Now knowing she was lying and manipulating them they both apologized to me for believing her...but the damage was done. They are willing to cooperate and hand over any evidence they have for this case to be persued. My entire life was swept right out from underneath me because of her statements and I want her to be held responsible. I lost weight(20+ in a month), cried all the time out of nowhere, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep, STILL cant sleep in what was ''our room'', I sleep in the home office. My kids dont have dad at home anymore which is devastating. Please help me!
