Re: harassment/libel/slander online
If she is knowingly publishing lies about you, you have a claim for defamation. The bigger issue is what damages you suffered as a result of these lies. If not much, then you will probably pay a lawyer more for his or her time than you would be able to recover from her. Note, however, that if what you say is true, it is possible to get an injunction against her to prevent her from doing what she is now doing.
