At the beginning of the divorce process. H is in total denial and got very angry and assaulted me in the house in front of the children. he has a long history of depression and unpleasant behaviour, though this is the first time the police have been involved. He was charged with and pleaded guilty to common assault and has been bailed until his trial. His bail conditions are that he doesn't come to the house and doesn't contact me directly or indirectly.
I can't have him back at the house after all this. The effect of his previous behaviour and the effect of his arrest has been enormous for everyone concerned (I have been on anti depressants for over a year and DS(12) is starting the CAHMs process due to his unsettled behaviour and binge/ comfort eating.
I intend to buy him out of the house and my parents have offered to cover first month's rent and deposit for him to rent a flat. When the divorce goes through he will get a large pay off and can then decide what to do with his life.
So, while the divorce proceeds and his bail lapses, what do i need to do to ensure there are provisions in place that prevent him coming back to the house and that there are provisions in place that I can build up contact with the children gradually while i establish what his state of mental health is. He is on the mental health crisis team list and has a social worker helping him. I have had very little contact from services and can't seem to get clear legal advice as, from what I can see, my query spans legal and civil processes. If there is danger of him just being set free with no conditions, I will raise an injunction but don't know if preparing an injunction now is jumping ahead of myself a bit?
