How can I get my boyfriends wife to stop harrassing me? Is she posting libel?
I am dating a man in the process of getting a divorce. His soon to be ex-wife has posted flyers with my picture around town calling me a home wrecker.

This must be incredibly distressing to you.
Without intending to sound insensitive, it is important to know whether the fliers are true. If the fliers are true, then you will have difficulty bringing a suit for defamation. However, you may have a claim for the tort of invasion of privacy and, specifically, the publication of private facts. Please feel free to contact my office if you would like to discuss your case confidentially and in greater detail.

As the other attorney said, you may have a recourse, and we or you and a lawyer would need to meet to discuss the specific facts, and your options.

I agree with Christopher's answer and I would also, and more particularly, add the claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. In fact, I think that this is the strongest claim that you have and if you are seeking counseling for anxiety you will be able to prove your damages. However, your husband has the ability through his lawyer to seek an order from the probate judge to have his wife stop this behavior as it is improper and harms him as well.
