Can any family law people help me please.

[Daydreamdelay]

Left exh around 12 years ago.
Children are 15,17 and 21.
Lots of emotional abuse and smashing of door and windows,lots of gas lighting, he went to hit me and I left.
He has definitely been abusive to partners since and physically so this has escalated.

He has not seen any of our children in at least ten years by his own choice. None of them remember him.

He has severe mental health issues. He has ability to ring and message them but uses this to message me instead and rarely contacts them at all.

He is constantly asking for our address.
Obviously this only relates to the youngest.
I just left and didn't ring the police at the time. Do I have to give him it as I’ve no proof of abuse at the time but have got proof of his abuse since to others.

None of the children have any interest in seeing him.
They have never had any maintenance or anything else from him even when he did know where we lived.

There are no court orders in place.

No, you don't have to give him your address. Protect yourself and the children.

Your oldest is an adult, the youngest two are old enough to make up their own minds about whether or not to see their dad.

Do call the police if you are feeling frightened or intimidated by his behavior.

Block his number - you don't have to answer the phone

[Daydreamdelay]

Thank you.
I have been trying to contact Rights of Women but can never get through.

So I just block and ignore?

[GreenTulips]

Why wouldn't you?

[BubblesBuddy]

There is the Women and Girls Network. You could try them for advice. WGN.

[Daydreamdelay]

Well obviously that is what I want to do Green but I needed to know legally I would be okay to do that.

[Daydreamdelay]

Thanks Bubbles.

[GreenTulips]

Well he's made no effort with them for 10 years and paid nothing towards their keep and assume he's never been to court?

You could get a new phone and not pass on the number - it's no different

[Daydreamdelay]

No he's never been to court but his messages are becoming increasingly desperate and aggressive in tone. I don't mean as in threatening but as in demanding and stating he deserves the information and that I am disrespecting him.

[Daydreamdelay]

To be honest I feel that he has used contact methods of a way of maintaining control still and he's now realising the youngest is soon to be 16 and will cut him off. So he's throwing everything he can at it to keep control.

[Daydreamdelay]

Thank you Daydream

[Daydreamdelay]

Thank you Family that was meant to say. I wasn't thanking myself honestly.
Sorry it's early
