Re: untruths,

It's very difficult, but not unprecedented, to deprive someone of access to the court system, especially in the area you are dealing with. You would have to file a motion setting forth the history of what has occurred, especially if she's filed numerous petitions which have subsequently been dismissed as unproven.

As to the new one, you should consider hiring an experienced family attorney to represent you, and then, if successful, file a motion asking the court to order your ex to pay your legal fees. There is a MD rule that provides for this under certain circumstances.
