Worried that slander could affect court order

My close family have always been very strange and poisonous people. They have never been able to interact in a normal way that a family should and have always taken great joy in kicking their own and other people down when someone is going through a bad time. Its something that has baffled me for years as I seem to be the only one that knows between right and wrong.

A few months ago my parents, who believe that when you have children you should be celibate for the rest of your life, instead of speaking to me about my new partner as grown adults do if they have a problem they decided to assault me in front of and why I had hold of my two young children. It was a prolonged attack which involved alot of sick things which I won't mention everything here. But basically strangulation was one of them when I tried to ring the police from my mobile.

I somehow got out of the house with my children and reported it to the police who questioned my parents, my parents apparently told them that I was the one who was drunk and I assaulted them, they just had to restrain me hence why they locked me in the house and then the garden to calm me down. When I left their house in my car I was drunk with my two children in the back. The one witness who was in my parents house at the time told a similar story which meant my parents got let off with assault due to lack of evidence.

My whole family then turned against me and believed my parents even though my parents have always been aggressive and hostile to other outside people in the past.

I have been told by a close friend that my sister has now been telling everyone that I am a drug addict, I've gone crazy and that my new partner is a bad influence and has introduced me to drugs, I'm a bad parent that doesn't deserve children because I have a new partner apparently.

My new partner is worried about whats being said as hes going through court trying to regain access to his daughter and we're so worried these lies, and obviously if my sister makes up more, that it will have an effect on court?

Baring in mind my sister is a 42 year old woman and really should know better than this.

What can I do any advice would be appreciated thanks.

How likely is it that your partner's ex will find out about the lies being told about you, believe them and hold it against him? Presumably you're not party to the access application so it shouldn't really have any bearing.

Meanwhile cut these lunatics in your family out of your life. Permanently and completely like a cancer

If that particular lie is brought up in court wouldn't a drug test sort it out?

I would have thought it if did come up in court (it's possible it won't), it's easily proveable that you aren't.

Obviously a drugs test would prove no current drugs in system, but an 'addict' is usually quite spotable by their demeanour, behaviour etc which, if you don't take drugs, would be 'normal'. I am sure you don't have anything to worry about.

Your family sound like poison :-( cut all ties with them would be the only way forward it would seem.

Why are you associating with your mad family? Why do you have anything to do with them?

I haven't seen my parents or my sister since the assault and my close friend has told me what my sister has been telling everyone. I've recently moved house and they don't know where I live hopefully.
