I am so mad I can't even sleep, he had supervised visitation after he gave our 6-yr old beer, he is saying he has paid his child support every month for 3 years(when the truth is he is behind $3000 and didn't even pay this month). Now he says he wants to see them more--they are 12 and over, so what can I do, he is taking me back to court, the a**hole! I get $120 a month, big whoop. The hillbillies around here believe everything they read, I'm thinking about moving, I hate this!

Sorry to hear about your situation. It's annoying to know that he bads mouth you....100x worst when he puts it to print in the local paper. I would be furious too!
Anything that he puts in the paper that isn't factual....you can sue him for slander if you can show it has had a negative impact on your life (more than hurt feelings) Example: loss of business, loss of a job or loss of clients.... You might be able to sue for pyschological stress if it resulted in you being off work due to emotional stress.
Either way, the only people's opinion who matters are your kids, family and close friends. They know it to be slander and it only makes him look like a idiot.
Good luck....hope it works out for you.

Sue the jerk for slander! If you live in a small town, this must be extremely difficult. Your son will be affected too if you don't do something. Kids are cruel. If you need to move, that's OK. You have to do what is right for you. It stinks though that you left this man, thinking that your life would be better, and now he's making it worse. Good luck! (You could always get a really big boyfriend, and have him have a "heart to heart" with your ex! That'd be fun to watch!!!

Let him take you back to court. But bring with you whatever evidence you have of him badmouthing you, and anything he has done wrong(beer situation). Then when it is your turn in court explain all of this and the effects it could have on your child. That boy can read and his friends' parents can read. If you are up for it file for more child support, this way you can afford to move if you need to. You might be able to take his rights away, due to negligence of a parent(beer situation). Judges frown on that!

I agree with the posts, sue him for slander and defamation of character and save all the evidence. Moving might be an option but who's to say he won't do this to you in your new location? I had a neighbor that had this very same problem. Her ex husband is a vindictive a**hole and would find out where she lived and would get her kicked out of her apartments by badmouthing her to her landlords and neighbors by telling everyone she's a psycho. Your husband sounds like this type of jerk and would go out of his way to ruin your credibility. Put a stop to it. Sometimes ignoring is not an option. Fight fire with fire if you have to. Don't let him ruin you!

well the judge will know for sure if hes telling the truth about paying child support, just go and take care of our business, and watch him make an *** out of himself. don't move away just because someone is bad mouthing you, you know whats been going on nobody else does. he was the one that ****** up by giving you child beer, which is totally dumb, and i would have beat his *** or had someone else do it, he does not deserve custody of your child. just hang in there, and be around friends and family who really care about you, he is not worth all the stress.

Sue him for slander and defamation of character. Get him to do something and call the law on him and then they will see him in the paper for a change.

Sue him for slander if this is possible. Maybe moving might be the answer. Talk with your kids about it and see how they feel and then make a decision.

i think he needs to stop lying and grow up and start paying his child support and if he don't stop slandering your name take him to court and sue him for that...

YOU REALLY NEED TO TELL HIM WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HE IS DOING!! I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD MOVE BECAUSE THEN IT IS SHOWING EVERYONE THAT ALL THIS CRAP THAT HE IS WRITING ABOUT IS TRUE.
