Dear Queenie,
My son and his wife got divorced because he had an affair and now she tells all sorts of lies about him – that he abused her and that he still abuses their children who are in her custody and that he has threatened to hurt her, etc, etc.
She even called the police for him and he had to go to court to defend himself. He was found innocent, but the lawyers are costing us a lot.
Queenie, is there anything we can do to protect him?—Worried father
Dear Father,
While you are paying the lawyers for defending him in court you can ask them that question. My guess is that you can take the ex-wife to court for harassment and possibly make her pay some of your son’s court costs. Your lawyers can advise you about your options.
Your son can also look for a divorce support group (probably online these days) and get professional counselling to help him deal with all the stress.
