Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

false accusations

In May, 2006 my husband came home and stated that he now has proof that I had sexual relationship with his one friend because his other friend has just warned him about it. When I went with my husband and his friend whom I was accused of having a sexual relationship with to the friend's house who told my husband, he denied saying it. After a while it calmed down. Now, my husband is starting these false accusations again. I have called the friend who told him and spoke to the friend whom I am accused of having sexual relationship with to dissolve this problem. Both friends do not what to have anything to do with my husband's constant questioning. Unfortunately, I am stuck with the constant nagging from my husband of having sexual relationship with his friend. I have spend many sleepness nights crying and unable to work at times but I refuse to let this get the best of me. I have been a faithful wife over 31 years. What can I do? I do plan on filing for divorce within the next month. Can I file slander charges against my husband and his two friends, also?

Re: false accusations

I would need to know more about your case. Normally, I would say don't bother as you are not going to go anywhere with that. However, your case may warrant such a claim, at least against your husband. Again, I would need to know a lot more about situation.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: false accusations

In all likelihood it will not make any difference in the outcome so you should not spend too much time or money on the accusation (unless to respond).

You certainly should not have to put up with false accusations that make you feel ill and stressed out.
