[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation but in your wife's shoes. Ex wanted to post all over how I was a cheater or whatever.

If your wife makes money off of her social media following, you can get in big trouble for interfering with her ability to earn income. That's illegal. It's like calling her place of employment to report her for cheating, either it'll do nothing, or she can come after you for the money she lost as a result.

Judges also hate petty stuff like that. If you go to court and whine about what she said on social media, it's going to reflect poorly on you.

Also, it just makes you look petty and more at fault. Ex tried to expose me to many people and the vast majority just thought he was crazy.[/quote]

Haha how do you figure it’s illegal?  Is is illegal to mislead your followers? GTFO. [/quote]

Because I spoke with multiple attorneys on the matter and had to threaten a lawsuit. I have a friend who went through a similar situation, he owned a dental practice and his ex-wife would try to sabotage his business. He finally had to sue her. You can't do that, it's illegal to interfere with someone's ability to earn income, and you can be held responsible for lost wages.

Everyone on social media misleads their followers. You think any of the fitness models you follow got that way through the diet and exercise program they're peddling you? Nope, it's genetics and performance-enhancing drugs.

I think you may have slightly misunderstood your lawyer. There is a cause of action for tortious interference with prospective advantage. But, one of the elements of the claim is that you have to negligently or intentionally breach a duty owed to the plaintiff.

The claim may have applied under whatever circumstances you were dealing with, but here, [b]where OP would truthfully state that he is not the father, would not trigger a viable claim. He has no duty to her ex to pretend to be the father of her child[/b] or otherwise refrain from correcting any factual errors. [/quote]

But OP doesn't want to simply state he's not the father. He wants to run a campaign to "expose" her for cheating. According to OP, all that his xW has said is that being a single mother is hard, which it is regardless of how the baby was conceived. If his response to such a statement is to smear her on social media when she's said nothing about him, he's going to run into problems.

We don't know the specifics of what went on in their marriage. But if OP is the type who wants to post all over social media about her when she's never actually said anything about him, my guess is that he wasn't a great husband. That's very vindictive and controlling behavior.

Also, it can very well backfire on him. All his xW would have to do is spin it as OP was a controlling, abusive spouse, and she cheated when someone who was kind to her came along. Him posting text messages to expose her will just play into that. And people love the drama, it'll likely get her even more attention. Unless her followers know who OP is and are trying to engage with him, best thing for OP since she hasn't actually said anything about him is to stay off of social media and leave her alone.[/quote]
