    Default Recourse Against Ex-Wife for Accusations of Drug Use

    My question involves defamation in the state of: NJ

    I have been divorced from my ex-wife for 3 years and have joint custody of our 13 yo son, we have been in and out of court for many reasons including many allegations that she has made in the past involving domestic abuse and harassment, which have all been unfounded and our judge has warned her and put in writing that their shall be no more harassment. Currently we are in the middle of a CNA which does not look favorable for her, I am in a management position in a healthcare company and was called in by the legal dept last week and told that my ex-wife demanded a meeting with the president of the company and siad that I have been harassing her by company email and texts via my company phone. My ex-wife also produced a vial of a narcotic medication and stated that she found this in our house and I am a drug addict. My company did pull all the texts and emails prior to the meeting and told me they found nothing harassing, but due to liability they needed me to be escorted to a facility for a drug test. The company also stated that I should not feel that I am on trial, but that they are only covering themselves and the potential liability.The results of the drug test can take up to a week and I am not pemitted to use any company vehicles until the results are returned. I have never used any type of illegal medication so have no fear of the results but I am completely humilated. I am not upset at my company as they are understanding and feel remorse towards my situation. as for my ex-wife, what can I do? she has been told by a judge not to harass and isn't this harassment? the topic of harassing texts and emails has come up in court in the past and the judge ruled that if an email states something that my ex-wife doesn't want or like to hear-it is not harassment. As for the drug issue, I have not resided in that house for over 3 1/2 years and have never used or beelinked to any drug use. It is ironic how all this is happening just as the judge is about to send out the CNA protected order. I have been handling the court motions pro se and any advice or experience with a situation like this would be appreciated.

    You make it appear that the biggest problem here is that you are representing yourself and aren't being effective in court. You should retain a lawyer, work with your lawyer, present an effective response to show that the accusations are false and then, if your lawyer deems it appropriate, seek sanctions.
