If you are unafraid of a libel lawsuit or willing to weather it regardless, make a website dedicated to the things your ex has done and leave contact info on it for your children should they wish to get in touch. If she's a legal professional, she'd probably become aware fairly quickly that her name is associated in Google search results with unfavorable key words.

Are you receiving many submissions of due-process violations from students accused of sexual assault?
What is FIRE's stance on how (or even if) colleges should adjudicate these cases? It's been pointed out that since these tribunals lack both professional criminal investigation expertise and subpoena powers that they're not competent to even hold inquiries to determine whether such a serious crime occurred or not.

How do you feel about the terminology choice of "internment camp" versus "concentration camp"? Although they didn't sink to the level of Germany's death camps, there were gun towers and barbed wire (At least for the US Japanese camps), and anyone trying to escape was shot. It seems that the West is deliberately giving a friendlier name to what was still a prison camp. Certainly we want to think of ourselves (the Allies) as "the good guys", but do you think we do ourselves a disservice by not giving the camps the same term which we reserve for the German camps?

Do you object to the terminology chosen for the Japanese-American prison camps? "Internment Camp" vs "Concentration Camp" vs "Prison".
