Harassment advice needed 🤞🏻

Hi I’m looking for some advice from anyone who may have been in a similar situation to myself and my partner.

I’ll try and keep it brief (there is a lot!). My partner has two children by two women. His son lives with us. The ex of his daughter stopped contact back in 2015 (she was throwing her toys out of the pram as he didn’t want to get back together). He went to court and got a child arrangement order which she breached 7 months later and stopped contact again. He went to go back to court but she basically told him and his solicitor that this won’t be the last time he goes back to court. So he decided it wasn’t fair on his daughter (who was 2) to have him in and out of her life and ceased progressing with the breach.

His ex has gone to some pretty extreme lengths to try and upset us. She attempted to get me sacked from my job, pretended to be my ex in a convo to herself on Facebook saying how bad a person I am (I’m still friends with my ex which she didn’t know), she was constantly threatening and harassing us when we saw his daughter. Threatening social services for sunburn or a cat scram, threatening to stop contact all the time. She finally did when I was sat in the car when he picked his daughter up. She did not want me in her street. She has also sent numerous text messages to me and him harassing us. She has taken his daughter to see 20year long estranged family members and has now made contact with his sons mother to have his son see her (which the sons mother took him to).

Everything she does seems to be to get a reaction. We took everything to the police and she has now been warned not to contact us.

The question I have is is there an order like a non molestation order that can prevent her from harrassing my partner? As he would love to go back To court to get contact with his daughter without having the constant threats when he does see her.

Any advice appreciated!

You can rely on the police warning (if an official warning under the Protection From Harassment Act) as enough to see her arrested and prosecuted if there are any further incidents of harassment. See how that goes for now.

A non-mol order makes harassment an arrestable offence - which is what you'd have under a properly served PHA warning anyway.
