Can a husband sue his wife for slander?

Answer 1

Yes, if your wife has caused harm via slander, you have the legal right to sue. That is not to say that your case will grant any punishment as the severity of the matter needs to be of financial or reputable importance.

Yes but the burden of proof will be totally on you..As you know Slander is statements falsely spoken with malicious intent that damage the reputation of another...

So you will have to prove that what she said was completely false and was done deliberately to cause you harm.

This can become a very difficult area to deal with especially when the accused person brings up the terms "in my opinion"...an example would be

if a person tells another person that "Bob is a low down, dirty ,rotten,back stabbing, lying,cheating,stealing little jerk that will ruin your life" then that is genuine slander because it falsely accuses you of being all those things, However if the person says "in my opinion I think Bob is a low down, dirty ,rotten, back stabbing, lying, cheating,stealing little jerk that will ruin your life" then it becomes their personal opinion of you and is protected under free speach...

Answer 2

Reasons for filing for divorce vary greatly from state to state. Some even have waiting periods to get people to think about why they want a divorce and hoping this stops some divorces with the extra time to work it out. Many states also allow for Irreconcilable Differences, making it not really necessary to give your reasons in court. You can file for a divorce for just about any reason you want, but you need to read up on your state requirements or speak with a divorce attorney in your state.

Answer 3

Yes. Be prepared to prove how she defamed your character, and how that violates your state's law.
