Your husband has a naive wife.
If he is assaulting his ex and her roommate, guess who is next?

Answer by perfectvelvet
You (or in this case your husband) cannot sue someone for monetary damages unless you yourself have been damaged. So unless you can prove defamation of character or loss of income due to mental distress, medical payments made to a therapist, etc., you don’t have a case.

Answer by Hillary
You can’t sue anyone.

Your husband could sue, but he would not win, and it would likely be tossed out of court. A wrong date and a false police report are not the same thing.The wrong date on a warrant could easily be explained away as a typo or clerical error, and you have to PROVE — not think, but be able to prove, with evidence — that someone intentionally and fraudulently lied on a warrant in order to even think about suing them.

I think your man should worry about the assault charges instead of dreaming up things to sue people for.
