You should invest money into fighting this legally.

If you are the victim of cyber bullying then I would suggest contacting the platform that is housing the libelous posts. I think there are ways on every platform to remove libelous posts. You probably should hire a lawyer to handle this for you that specializes in cyber bullying.

If you were fired over this libel, then you could also sue the company as well and make sure there are press releases that state that you are fighting this as false so that they become higher in the search rankings. Then at least if future employers are looking at this, it will call into question whether or not you are actually guilty.

Is there even anyone that would take this on spec? Previously stated, my financial situation is unfortunately dire at this time :/
Borrow money from friends and family if you have to. Expensive lawyers can do a lot of things that ordinary people can't do. I would do thorough research on this to figure out who can do this type of work for you. I think it's the most likely to be successful and if I were in that situation, that's exactly what I would do.

It's also a reason why I gave my kids very, very generic boring names which would make it very hard to google them.

I was the "successful" one in my family, so i don't really have a lot of familial borrowing power unfortunately.

Sadly, I am the only person with my name in the country. something I used to be proud of actually.
