My ex-wife hired a lawyer and was able to convince Match.com that I was a "head case" and as a result of that action my e-mails from dating services and speed dating have been screened out. I was able to find out that AOL ( MATCH.com) has an electronic memo basically issuing a warning about me. I live in Illinois. I am not interested in a suit. I simply want to eliminate this infringement on my liberties. I have a doctor that will testify against the allegations. Besides AOL, she even approached COMCAST, work, credit cards, etc. In essence every aspects of my life. She has made threats about attaching letters to my electronic resume so that she can hamper my abilities to get employment. This occurred three months ago. How long do I have to correct the libel? What would it take and how much to eliminated it? |

Get an attorney. See if her actions amount to harassment. |

Sorry this post is so late: Libel, as an intentional tort, is governed by individual states' statutes of limitations... these kind of torts usually range from 1 to 5 years, depending on the jurisdiction. Also note that libel, as an intentional tort, provides the possibility for punitive damages. Thus, an attorney may be willing to take the case on on a "contingency" fee (meaning the attorney gets part of your award, rather than a set, per-hour rate). There are interesting issues in your case, such as the liability of not only your ex- but also any possible liability against the companies you mentioned. Also, be sure to tell any attorney about any concrete damages you may have experienced (any credit cards that turned you down, times you were blocked from the dating sites but still paid, etc.) You might also seek an injunction preventing your ex- from doing these activities in the future. |
