Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
i am in a fued that has lasted 5 yrs with my fiancees parents. recently they accused me of messing with thier 4 yr old grand daughter, and told my fiancee if she left me then they wouldnt press charges.this lady is coaching her grand daughter to say stuff about me. they waited 2 months during which time i am telling them to call the police if they think i did anything, because i didnt. after two months they finally took her to a doctor to have her checked out, and doctors did test which even came back to prove she wasnt molested. over the course of this time my fiancees mother and aunt were posting things about me on facebook, and even writing the only friends i have that they know, and telling them i am a pedophile and all sorts of other things. i have these messages saved. i am wondering what i can do about this.

You can sue in a civil action for defamation. You can try to find a lawyer to take the case on a contingency but I do not know if you will be successful in this regard.
