Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
Ex is slandering
My child's therapist informed me that my ex is slandering me at our daughter's school and around our small town (cashier's at stores, daughter's doctors, etc) He apparently bragged about it to the therapist. She wants me to try to do something about it legally. It is extremely emotionally unhealthy for my daughter as he often does this in her presence. School should be a neutral environment for her and somewhere that should not be tainted. I understand that the secretaries at her school have engaged with ex regarding his false allegations. I intend on writing to the school district and lodging a complaint asking that school workers be educated to not engage in this type of behavior. Ex apparently was hanging around at daughters school for hours at a time bad mouthing me. (he works nights) he fights ending the divorce, mediation has failed and he has rejected two stipulations. I will offer one more stipulation and if he rejects, we are headed to court. Can I include in my stipulation that he is to not bad mouth me at my daughter's school, or anywhere else? Our town is small and he is spreading false allegations. My poor daughter is impacted emotionally. Will I need therapist to write supporting documentation? How do I prove?

Re: Ex is slandering
Take him to court immediately and get an order preventing him from saying anything. You can also sue him for slander and/or libel. I suggest that you forget another stipulation, he does not want to end this fight. Let the judge do it for you. He will look like a jerk to the judge, and you will get a good settlement. When you go to court ask for everything you want. The judge will not give you more than you ask for.
