A Mother's Disavowal of Her Son Due to Harm Caused by Him

Question
My son has caused me and his siblings harm, and the matter has reached the courts. Is it permissible for me to disavow him?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for you to disown him; you should work on containing him, reforming him, and dealing with him wisely. If you wish, you can involve good people between you for reconciliation, and God knows best.
