    My question involves defamation in the state of: Washington.. My husband had an affair and I found out through his email while I was paying g bills. I have a restraining order on me from the other woman b/c I posted their affair on fb. When we went to court she lied 3 times. I want to approach the court in a letter regarding her perjury and my first amendment rights. My expectation is to make the court aware and to have something on file regarding all of this. I have never threatened her in any way but I did make their communication public. As far as harassment that did not occur either. If possible, please advise. This woman took a personal matter and made it a legal matter b/c it painted an unflattering picture of her in her community. However, everything I have said or posted was true.
    Why didn't you bring up anything in court or defend yourself in court?

    How often have you posted about their affair? That could be construed as harassment.

    Why are you so concerned with HER? Your husband cheated on you. Why aren't you focused on him? Did she rape him? Force him? Coerce him? No? Then it took two to have the affair. Not just her.

    Abide by the order. Stay away from her and maybe look into a divorce lawyer.

    Not necessarily. It would be harassment if the OP addressed the petitioner directly or indirectly and with indications that the messages be conveyed to the petitioner.

    It is reasonable to be concerned when somebody obtains a restraining order through false statements, because then that petitioner will be tempted to make new false statements to cause OP to be punished for no good reason. Furthermore, a law-abiding civilian is entitled to his/her clean record, even if the courts no longer display restraining orders publicly on their IT systems.
