Actually, my family runs multimilllion dollar corporations, the family name is fairly important and its tarnishing can result in monetary loss. That is, however, unimportant. I just want her parents off my back.

Agreed! :thumbsup:

If you can afford the time and effort to do this, then by all means use the lawyers to go after this guy.

Oh time and money is no consideration, I've got the wealth, my uncle was the Supreme Court Justice Aid in Canada, and my parents friend is the top divorce and relations lawyer in Vancouver.

So since you have wealth and personally know a lawyer that's a good excuse to sue over something like this? Sure, I understand where you are coming from, I've been chewed out before and have had false accusations directed at me. Hell, I'm sure a good percentage of us have, but in my case I stood up at took it like a man. You say you're gone out of town eight months of the year? For those four months you're home why can't you just ignore them. If they harass you, call the police. And as many of the others have said, get a restraining order.

I apologize for being so blunt, it's just that I'm sick of people who sue others for stupid shite.

I had no intention of suing them really, I just wanted to prove that there was defamation of character present, and using that as the means by which to argue for a restraining order.

No, having any conversation at all with someone who cheated on you 2 times is stupid, much less feeling the need to record them. Without knowing anything about your background or your relationship I was kinda on your side. If he was harassing you in public, and yelling out BS for all to hear, I'd say go for it.

However, for something to be "defamation," it has to be untruthfully. Sounds like he may have a point in telling you're "harassing his daughter" if you're still taking/IMing after the breakup. In other words, you probably brought this on yourself.

Sorry guys, I guess what I really meant was using this stuff as a means by which to get a restraining order. If I can show a pattern of behavior then I can get it.

On a side note I went back to the place where the father threw a fit, and a few people gave me their numbers saying the guy is a lunatic and that if someone needs proof to just call them.

Told ya so.

Like a few others, I'm trying to figure out how exactly you were slandered. What loss due to his actions can you show? I would think a more appropriate solution would be a restraining order against them. Is that what you're using the lawyer for?

Slander or defamation of character, it's not necessarily a loss of anything tangible, rather intangible stuff.

It is difficult for a restraining order to work since she lives across the street from me.

😕
From your original post it seems that the parents didn't do any harm on you except yelling at you in public. I don't think you can sue them for that. You can get restraining order but suing for slander and defamation of character? 😕
 
Unfortunately, it looks like some of America's bad habits are rubbing off on Canada. To all the other Canadians on the board, I'm sorry. 🙁

Updates to come!

To make a long story short, I dated this girl for about a year and a half we broke up 6 months ago.. her parents were conservative protestants and weren't to happy she was dating a half breed (and therefore inferior) non religious person.

They have always claimed that I am harassing her, even though it is normal cohearant conversation. Her parents have called the house, come and visited.. always to meet closed doors because I, and my parents, think they are just crazy. Appearantly so do all of her classmates (who she refers to as friends).

Anyhow, today he sees me in public and goes nuts on me, says I'm harassing his daughter and that he's coming after me.

Oops to bad I've kept records of all correspondances made, includind MSX and text messages, dates of her re adding me back onto msn, proving that I was not making an effort... and now I'm going after him. I'm sick of his slander, defamation of my character. I was screwed around one to many times to fall for this sh!t, and now it's my revenge on the bastards.

You're not helping your case. Let it go dude, it happens in life. Move on and forget about it. You and her family sound pretty wacky to me.
 
Challenge her father to an arm wrestling match, say if you lose you'll leave his daughter alone. Then when he puts his arm on the table, sucker punch him in the neck and yell "You win, b|tch!"

I'd look forward to seeing you on Judge Judy, but I don't watch that show... but enjoy your appearance anyway.
