Hello - I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me whether the following is considered defamation:
I'm currently a party of a very nasty custody battle in the Federal Circuit Court. The Dept. of Child Safety and Qld Police have just produced records through a subpoena and this is how I have become aware that my ex-husband has been making false reports about me to the police and child safety.
1. There are 7 child safety reports and 2 police reports
2. All of the reports are made directly after a specific conflict between me and my ex husband or within a couple of days before going to court
3. The Dept of Child Safety has closed each report, without investigtion or contacting me, under the determination that the report did not meet the threshold to investigte.
While nothing has come of any of these reports, when looking at them collectively it paints a concerning picture about me (ie. throw enough s**t against the wall and some of it will stick etc) and has already caused detrimental issues to my parenting matter in court.
I want to know if this is defamation or anyything that I can do to make him stop?
Thanks for your help,
