I could not agree more with this advice -- in addition to prevention, there is also the issue of whether and how you should be compensated thanks to the potential impact of the wife's defamation of your character. It's one thing if this was a private internal matter and you were simply "let go" for undisclosed reasons or appeared to be amicable. I don't know if and how it might affect future employment. Your attorney can speak to you about your options, including what may have been the smart and appropriate thing for them to do -- giving you a reasonable severance package and putting this entire matter to rest. Best of luck.
