I have a restraining order against my ex-girlfriend here in Georgia. During the hearing last week, she told the court that she was going to be contacting family services because she felt like I had contacted them on her. She had made several false allegations against me during the hearing and they were all dismissed by the judge because she could not provide burden of proof. She even had her kids provide testimony to the allegations and through discussion, the judge discovered through her kids admission that their testimonies had been “coached”. A few days later my ex-wife had gotten a phone call from family services that they would be coming by to talk. Allegations were made to family services that there was domestic violence in my ex-wife’s home between she and her husband, which there are absolutely none of. We all sat down and talked with the family services worker, I explained to her what I had just went through with my ex and demonstrated to her that my ex is simply just trying to cause problems. We are waiting for family services to conduct their process and receive the allegation dismissal letter from them. Is there anything that we can do to protect ourselves from the harassment and libel that my ex is doing? I know that we can pursue her in court for libel in a civil matter but what we really want is for a criminal judge to threaten her with a jail sentence in hopes that will catch her attention and get on with her life.
