Threats - what to do

Could do with some thoughts on how best to approach this.

Long story short, my son's dad has a habit of taking me to court for any miniscule difference in views. He wasn't involved in son's first three years of life. In the three years since he's taken me to court about eight times. He emails the judge so regularly its insane.

Anyway, we had a few back and fourths yesterday as he wanted to pull DS out of school due to the heat. I spoke to the school and they weren't concerned. I've looked back at the messages and objectively, he becomes increasingly vicious towards me calling me all kinds of things. I feel like I stay very dispassionate and calm.

About an hour later, he copies me into an email to the family court saying I've disrespected the order telling the court a pack of lies and using selected screenshots whilst not including others. I've got no doubt the two are linked. His ego is bruised because a woman didn't immediately do what he wants.

Half of me feels like rebutting his email in an email including the screenshots of messages he didn't include. I feel I've done nothing wrong and have nothing to do hide. But also Im loathe to lend legitimacy to this by responding because it happens so frequently. Should I respond or just wait to see if the court do anything?

There is a section you can apply for that prevents him trying to get you back to court for ridiculous reasons.. Surprised he hasn't been reprimanded already. My exh was. Ask your solicitor what it is and do it.

Thanks. We already have a barring order in place, not that it does much good

Did you post about this in another chat? My advice is to ignore it until the court get in touch with you. Make sure you save all the messages and rebuttals for his points.
