⚖️  Law

In a defamation lawsuit in Washington State, the superior court judge ruled in my favor, ordering a permanent injunction against the defendant from defaming me again and reversing a surname change made to harm my reputation. The defendant has now retained an attorney pro bono who objects to this supplemental ruling, claiming it is beyond the court's jurisdiction. Based on your experience and expertise, is it within a Superior Court's jurisdiction in Washington State to reverse a name change made to cause harm to another, especially when the defendant denied under oath that the name change was for escaping debtors or harming anyone, but then proceeded to defame me online causing severe distress?
