Hello,

Such matters tend to be difficult to navigate. Fortunately you can lean on our legal expertise to aid you along the way. 

Where the divorce proceedings are concluded, no further action is necessary. 

Regarding the defamation, you would need to establish what was uttered and by whom, that the utterance was untrue, that the utterance was publicized and that it caused damage to your reputation. 

Parental rights are equally shared by both the mother and father of a child. These rights are guaranteed by the law and are enforceable regardless of circumstance. 

We would be more than happy to explore your options for redress. Kindly feel free to reach out to us.
