Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Hi. Here's my situation. A man posted on a forum (on a national TV network's website) some EGREGIOUS and HEINOUS lies about me. He used my full legal, first and last name, and since I am registered on that website, my profile includes my city and even a picture of me. He fabricated a story about him having notes that he had referred back to, and had reminded him that in my past I was accused of molesting a 12 year-old girl and that he saw me on an internet sex-offender website. I am a good, honest, hard-working family man with a wife and daughter.....and there is not an OUNCE of truth to this story. It is the 100% FABRICATION OF A VERY SICK MIND, Believe me, I want to sue this guy for libel until his teeth ache. This is an outrage that someone can fabricate such absolute lies and put them out on the internet for the entire world to see.

I live in Georgia. He lives in California. Can I file a libel lawsuit here in Georgia? Which court would hear it and where can I get the paperwork for filing?

You would need to pursue the action in California. There is no "paperwork" or form. You'll need to retain a California attorney.
