To block ex husband from calling?

11 replies

My ex husband is from another country. He is here on a Spouse Visa and as soon as he got here, he left me.

I didn't know where he went, or why. He texted me to let me know he's not interested in me anymore.

As we are now divorced, his solicitor advised him to get the Parent of a Child visa ---- for which he needs an agreement signed by the court stating he has contact with his son, even though he always cancels last minute

He calls me every other day atleast 5 or 6 times to say 'tell your solicitor to make an agreement or else im taking you to court'

I stupidly answer because if i dont, he starts texting my mum saying 'its urgent, I need to ask about my son'

Am I allowed to block his calls and only use Texting as a means of communication?

Hahahaha HE is going to take YOU to court? The utter doughnut - he needs your cooperation.

If I was you, I'd get onto the Home Office and grass him up.

Sounds good to me. Or email even better so you have a written trail of any harassment.

Yes!
Tell your mum to block him as well.
Get a child arrangement order and tell the court what he is doing.
If they agree to let him stay and he still doesn't turn up etc get a enforcement order. Showing the court that he's used his child for a visa.
It will take time so don't hold your breath.

I have spoken to my solicitor already, who is in the process of creating an agreement and i'm hoping he will actually show up if its in writing....however with the backlog, its taking time and my Ex keeps calling and threatening me with court

He never calls to ask about our son, its only ever him shouting down the phone about the agreement.

Sorry, I did not answer your question. Yes, absolutely block the scummy idiot, and for goodness' sake, tell your mum what he's doing so that she stops putting pressure on you. You are a grown woman, you are a mum, you hold all the power in this situation, even if you don't see it like that right now.

I agree. Shop him. It was clearly just a marriage of convenience for him.

Did he actually admit that in his messages to you?

Hopelessandlost · 25/04/2021 20:04

I gave him my email address and told him he can contact me there. He has never cared for our son either, cancelled on us every christmas since he's been here. I will be blocking him for sure!

Thank you all, I just needed to vent on here as I was losing it!

Can your mum block him too?

What an absolutely vile thing to happen to you OP.

I'm not sure what type of phone you've got but once you've blocked someone's calls you won't receive messages. I have a Samsung and blocked texts go through to a hidden folder so check and make sure, if not create a new email address send it to him explaining that, that is the only way he can contact you then block and delete.

He doesn’t care about you or his child. I wouldn’t be doing the slightest little thing to help him stay in the country, and I’d be reporting any threats to the police too.
