Hello, I wonder if someone has some good advice for me.
XH and I have been divorced for 5.5 years, early days were amicable, latter days not so much so. I have a non molestation order against him, and we are under the care of social workers.
There was no custody arrangement in the divorce as I wanted the dc's to be able to come and go as they wished. This is relevant.
XH has turned out to be a drug dealer. Quite a big one at that. And sadly he has also become a drug taker, which contributes to why we don't get on anymore.
He has the youngest dc maybe twice a week. I am loathed to stop contact, but it is coming to the stage where his behaviour - and driving - is so erratic that I would be irresponsible to let the current arrangement continue.
The social worker has recommended that I stop contact, and the fact that we have no formal custody agreement aids this. However, he obviously still has parental responsibility.
Can I apply for a Prohibitive Steps Order? I have made another appointment with the police because I am at the stage where I would be doing a public service to remove him from the streets. I have also made an appointment with the CAB to get some advice, but thought I would ask here too. I cannot afford a solicitor, but equally wouldn't qualify for legal aid. I am floundering somewhat.
TIA
