It is not advisable to indulge in futile litigation. If you have already been granted divorce, you should enjoy your peace and freedom. The litigation may be wasteful, time consuming and costly with uncertain results.

Wish you good luck.

Depends on presence of essential ingredients of the offences.

Have the material evaluated by your lawyer. It may or may not be defamatory or false or both. Decide accordingly.
