Contacting previous partners

[Aeschylus]

My husband was previously married, divorced 15 years ago (approx) and although it was not violent or anything like that, they did not part on good terms and have never seen each other since.

We were told by the sw tonight that we need to track her down as part of our assessment (we have found her on fb) but it feels wrong to just contact her out of the blue. Any advice?

Hello,

We were very concerned about the whole contacting exes. We understood why it is important but felt very uncomfortable.

When it came to it we discussed our circumstances with SW. DP had more than one ex to be contacted. Due to our very particular circumstances, which we could evidence it was agreed that we could contact ex MIL for and a friend who had witnessed circumstances. I would support the view SW's know you are exes for a reason, your ex isn't the only part of the jigsaw they gather the pieces to fit everything together so they can evidence you don't pose a risk.
