Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky
What does it take to sue someone for defamation of character? MY girlfriend is going through a messy divorce and now I have been dragged into it. Her soon to be ex husband has now gone to social services accusing me of touching their youngest daughter. Now I have to deal with weeks of social service investigations and am not aloud around the children, who have became my world. I want to know if when found innocent I can sue him for such, or if I even have to wait that long to get things started. As well as what I have to do to get things started. Secondly do lawyers take such cases on the base of getting x amount of dollars once the case is won or what? Never had to deal with a lawyer.
Thank you,
Les

No attorney I know of will take a defamation case on contingency; they just don't pay off. You'll need to pay a retainer. Find an attorney who has experience in dignitary torts and get a consultation.
