To not want exh to have access to dc?

[olympicblues]

We have been divorced over five years. During that time he hasn't paid any maintanance and despite having no restriction on visiting has only come once or twice a year, I am always present and in a busy place.

There was a history of unreported EA and destroying house. I left as he went to slap me and did slap one of dc. He told dr he lost his temper and "my wife thought I was going to slap her" he did not tell dr he had slapped dc hard enough to leave a bruise.

Since i left , He is under a psychiatrist for serious depression and has been commited in the past for suicide attempts, apparently because I " didn't support him enough when I left"

He has a turbulent relationship with his fiance, very on/ off and she has contacted me to say he has been nasty and didn't understand how I could have left before but knows now he has problems.

There is no court order, the agreement on the decree for divorce was that dc would live with me but we would meet half way for access once a fortnight, court were happy with this. He did this for a couple of weeks then it wore off.

I am guessing suicide attempts (four) would be enough to ask for supervised?

Yes it would, so would his partners history, it may be that the court will consider her a risk, so whilst he is with her he may not have the children, whilst they are under 16.

I would not supervise the contacts.
