My question involves defamation in the state of: Florida
My father is in the middle of a divorce and his wife is acting as her own attorney. She filed papers asserting that he has told her that he has either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, which he never has. Is he able to sue her in small claims court for libel?
Also, my dad lives in Alabama while his wife lives in Florida. Their divorce is filed in Alabama. Where should he file the small claims court case? I think Alabama has limits of $3k and Florida is $5k.
