Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

I have just been informed by friends, my estranged wife has opened a facebook account in my name. I believe this is for a future smear campaign. We have been separated for just over 10 days in which I instigated the separation knowing that she already had a replacement in place without telling her.

Has anybody else experienced this?

Wow... .

You can report it to facebook to have it taken down. I haven't had the exact experience, but I had an ex who made anime villains under my name on deviantart (I have a very rare name). I can't make this stuff up

This is a good suggestion. I would document any emails to and from Facebook in case you need them for any future legal proceedings.

I agree that notifying Facebook (and send a message to the Facebook account) and citing SB1411 is a the way to dispatch this.

   SB 1411, Simitian. Impersonation: Internet.

  Existing law makes it a crime to falsely impersonate another in

   either his or her private or official capacity
, as specified.

   Existing law also makes it a crime to knowingly access and, without

   permission, alter, damage, delete, destroy, or otherwise use any

   data, computer, computer system, or computer network in order to

   devise or execute any scheme or artifice to defraud, deceive, or

   extort, or wrongfully control or obtain money, property, or data. For

   a violation thereof, in addition to specified criminal penalties,

   existing law authorizes an aggrieved party to bring a civil action

   against the violator, as specified.

   This bill would provide that any person who knowingly and without

   consent credibly impersonates another actual person through or on an

   Internet Web site or by other electronic means, as specified, for

   purposes of harming, intimidating, threatening, or defrauding another

   person is guilty of a misdemeanor. The bill would, in addition to

   the specified criminal penalties, authorize a person who suffers

   damage or loss to bring a civil action against any person who

   violates that provision, as specified.
Because the bill would create

   a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local

   agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the

   state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that

   reimbursement.

   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this

   act for a specified reason.

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   SECTION 1. Section 528.5 is added to the Penal Code, to read:

   528.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person

   who knowingly and without consent credibly impersonates another

   actual person through or on an Internet Web site or by other

   electronic means for purposes of harming, intimidating, threatening,

   or defrauding another person
is guilty of a public offense punishable

   pursuant to subdivision (d).

   (b) For purposes of this section, an impersonation is credible if

   another person would reasonably believe, or did reasonably believe,

   that the defendant was or is the person who was impersonated.

   (c) For purposes of this section, “electronic means” shall include

   opening an e-mail account or an account or profile on a social

   networking Internet Web site in another person’s name.

   (d) A violation of subdivision (a) is punishable by a fine not

   exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in a

   county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and

   imprisonment.

   (e) In addition to any other civil remedy available, a person who

   suffers damage or loss by reason of a violation of subdivision (a)

   may bring a civil action against the violator for compensatory

   damages and injunctive relief or other equitable relief pursuant to

   paragraphs (1), (2), (4), and (5) of subdivision (e) and subdivision

   (g) of Section 502.

   (f) This section shall not preclude prosecution under any other

   law.

   SEC. 2. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to

   Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because

   the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school

   district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or

   infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty

   for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the

   Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the

   meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California

   Constitution.

Thanks for the advice, I have contacted the Facebook complaints department twice regarding the fake account and as yet have had no reply.
