    Generally, you have to prove you suffered damages. If the charges were proven unfounded and the supervised visits have ended there doesn't seem to be much in the way of damages.

    On the other hand, you seem to have a very strong case to prove the defamation. So consult an attorney/solicitor on the viability of going to court.

    What is said in Court is cloaked by Law and cannot be used in a lawsuit.
