I was baddly hurt by the last custody hearing about 5 years ago, and can't go thru that again. But my ex is being nasty to the kids again, its more emotional than physical this time, and the elsest (16 & 11yrs) has said he's not going anymore, and that means his brother too.
But I can't face another battle, or the harrassment of me and my friends that came with it. How can I support my son without getting involved? I know that sounds cowardly, but I feel the only way to stop this being a "battle of the sexes" is to remove myself from proceedings in the hope that the Kids finally get listened to! Any advice helpful. Also, my son will have his g.c.s.e in the summer, so I'm so worried for him on that level too. But I know my ex will come after me for this, so ignoring and hoping he makes the first move is a bad option i think.

If there is a court order you can't remove yourself from proceedings. You'll need to apply to vary the order.
