Can an order of expungement be served on an indivual person as well as on agencies?

Years ago, my husband was arrested on false charges - from accusations that came from his former wife and her romantic partner. After the divorce was final, he was fully acquitted of the charges, but his ex-wife still uses the arrest against him to discredit him.

She is actively using this information against him to interfere with their custody review and to try to get him kicked out of school. She has given the information to his children's doctors, teachers, and counselors.

We are working on a defamation case separately from the current custody case, but I was wondering - if we get an order of expungement to serve to all the agencies that deal with, or have received the arrest record - would this order be able to legally obligate her to stop talking about the arrest?

Would it strengthen a defamation case, if she were to talk about it after officially being served with an order of expungement?

An individual can not be served with an order of expungement.
