I don't have a problem with the Judge ordering him to apologize to his wife for the lies he told.
I don't have a problem with the Judge ordering him to apologize to his friends for telling lies about his ex-wife.
And I certainly don't have a problem with him being court-ordered to use FaceBook...as that is the venue he used to slander his ex-wife.

How did he slander her?
"if you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husband's life and take your son's father away from him completely — all you need to do is say that you're scared of your husband or domestic partner… , "

Further to that..he had BLOCKED her from his FB...so she didn't find it by just happening by...His rant wasn't specific to her and he named no names...

I think it doesn't matter that she was blocked. It could be related to Gr8Dad's "Don't Read If" threads. Is he being any less offensive because there's a warning? Or is he just looking to offend? I also wonder if the judge knew about DS, would that be the forum for the apology instead of FB? There is a lot of history here, and few apologies given here.

You can only be offended if you read it...
That said, the ex wife had an order (broadly written, of course)preventing him from "annoying" her...His very existence most likely "annoys" her...so...Is he supposed to go away?
He was exonerated on all charges of domestic...and he still lost his kids to her...he's allowed to have an opinion on the subject and when he didn't name her specifically, it ceased to be slander...

Didn't read this specific article, but just a general commentary on the whole "FB vent" thing. I had a guy fb friend (known from high school, zynga games friend, lol).. CONSTANT rants about "the Creature" who was OBVIOUSLY his now ex-wife. You knew the guy's pick up and drop off schedule practically. He never NAMED the girl, but you KNOW who she is b/c it's just quite obvious. I had to de-friend him. I tried to tell him twice, very politely, how disturbing his posts were (they were obsessive in my opinion and god forbid his daughter ever read them, well it's obvious he thinks the woman who helped create her is a monster and oh, for someone soooooooo terrible, kid looks pretty fricken healthy and happy so she can't be doing THAT bad a job). It's just not normal. Now, the occasional one time here or there vent, fine.. but people use it as a passive aggressive way to get back at people, it's stupid.

Is KNOWING who its about, or at least making a good guess, tantamount to slander, without actually naming names...?
I mean, constitutionally, on its face...is what he did, slander?

Yes, I believe it is. It's like here. If someone makes not so subtle accusations, with no basis in proof, it's the same thing. And yes I absolutely believe its slander. For example, my reputation has been put into question by the false suggestions of another. That's absolutely slander. Same holds true for this guy.
