I have been brought to court 5 times by my ex-partner and he has also called the police on me. In the last court case he brought me back on a technicality and after using a barrister in the last court case he was given more time with the children. As a result of the extra time awarded my son was devastated and his behaviour has deteriorated at school especially when he is due a longer period of time with his dad e.g. summer and Christmas holidays. The ex-partner has now referred me to social services 7 times. It is coercive control, he has lost no house, in fact he owes me money, he doesn't pay any child maintenance, and he has no job. I believe he is now working on to get the children full time so he can stay in his house, gain benefits etc. Do you know a good barrister near Bury St Edmunds? I work in education, I am DBS checked. He doesn't want me to move on causing me stress for nearly 4 years.
