My wife sent an email to an attorney and made false statements is that illegal?

My wife stated in a email to an attorney that I am trying to take our kids from her and that i am ';very unstable'; This is very far from the truth, in fact, i love my children and think that having equal time with both parents is top priority. I would never use them as a tool for getting back at her as she apparently is. There are two sides to the story but it does not involve me being unstable or wanting to take the kids away from her. We failed each other at marriage and she is very angry right now. I've never suggested anything about taking the kids...she is a great mother and a hard worker i would never do that. So why is she doing this and isn't that considered ';liable'; or slanderMy wife sent an email to an attorney and made false statements is that illegal?
I would not worry about it since you do know the truth...KMy wife sent an email to an attorney and made false statements is that illegal?
It is neither libel nor slander,since you cannot claim to have been harmed by these statements, merely offended and it is not sworn testimony so it is not perjury....was this your lawyer to whom she e-mailed these comments or her own? Your attorney should not be accepting communications from her if she is represented by counsel and if it was HER lawyer, that's priviliged and you should not even know about it... You are out of gas for any legal recourse about these statements, true or false.
A written statement that denigrates another causing a monetary loss is libel. So, if anything, you would have a claim against your wife for libel if you could prove she wrote the statement, disseminated it to another person, and that person acted on it in a way that caused you harm. However, the statement has to be false. A good faith opinion based on known evidence isn't going to be the basis for libel. It is very, very unlikely that your wife's statements to her attorney could ever be shown to be empirically false.





Now, add to that the fact that anything your wife wrote to an attorney would be confidential and neither your wife nor the attorney could ever be made to reveal it.





Also, add the fact that suing your wife for libel would not exactly be demonstrating how easy-going and compromising you are.





I don't see you having much of a case.
that is very much against the law as well conflict of interest let your lawer know this ?
Talk is cheap and she can say anything she wants, however, she has to prove it. No, it's not liable or slander and it's not against the law.





You on the other hand better get ready for the fight of your life as she sounds like she's gonna be a royal ***** in the seperation and the divorse.





Good luck, your gonna need it.
is its legal to say what you won about anyone...but you have to have proof of it ...she has to have some kind of proof saying you are unstable a court wont just take her word espacilly when it comes to the kids..no its not slander or liable .. its just her opnion..the judge might have a recomendation for you to be evaluated by a physicartist.....
Making out a false statement on someone is slander and lying. She can be fined alot of money if caught.
To say something to her attorney is one thing. BUT if she signs an affidavit that is another story. If she swears under oath and lies this is also something lese. But to tell a lie to her attorney I don't think will amount to anything. This being because if he is any kind of lawyer he'll check, re-check, verify, and re-verify anything and everything before he even thinks of using it in court.
yes it is illegal to do that but i wouldnt worry if your not unstable and are true of what you say then she will be seen through and all will work out you know its sad she cant be a grown up and leave them problems that you to have be between you 2 and not the kids cause there the ones that get hurt in the end by lies
I think you have a nuclear bomb aimed right at the back of your head and you don't see it coming.





You should get a really good, very experienced lawyer and fast! You don't have any time to lose. Once your wife files a restraining order against you based on her assertion that you are unstable, you will be no better than chopped liver in court! And that restraining order will be just the beginning. You apparently have no idea not only what's possible, but probably on its way.





You should keep this question open for at least a week to give some friends of mine time to read your question and hopefully give you an earfull if they're willing to register here to do it.





Good luck! I hope you can find and can afford a really good, really competent lawyer! You sure are going to need it! And by the way, I hope you get your money out of all your accounts before her lawyer freezes them. It will be really hard to fund a defense and just as important, a strong offense without access to your money!
