Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

My ex (divorced since Nov. 2013), has hotlined me to child services. This is the 2nd time and he is instigating these making someone else call, the 1st call had at least 10 allegations all were found false and case was closed, the 2nd call which he made look like a good friend of my daughters parents made it but they did not. I was first visited by an interviewer who was on call and does not handle follow ups so I am waiting for my next visit. Is there anyway to prove who called or anything I can do to stop this from happening? If I find out who did it, which unfortunately my ex is a pathological liar so it is a long shot, can I sue him for this?

If you find out that your ex made the call malisiously, you can sue him. But, hotline calls are anonomous, so it may be difficult to find out who called. Perhaps start with whoever told you it was the parent of your child's friend.

Good luck

You can't find out who made the call from childrens' division . So unless you can prove who did it, there is no one to sue. Beyond that you have to prove economics.
