Contempt of court family help

If someone was to release information provided in a court document to someone else to threaten and intimidate what could be the outcome?
My ex has released information to courts contained between my soliciors and his and the court to a woman running a contact centre (I've had alot of issues)
Woman called me up threatening me and being intimidating.

Could that be classed as contempt of court? Really going through hell at the moment

I can only see it would be a contempt of court if the information released was released in breach of a court order to keep it confidential.

In your shoes I'd be contacting whoever runs the contact centre. That's appalling behaviour.

Since you say that you have a solicitor ask him/her. S/he might also be able to use his conduct to your advantage.

Your OP is unclear exactly what he's disclosed. Court orders, statements filed in court and reports by, say, cafcass, should not be disclosed to 3rd parties without permission. It's not contempt to disclose correspondence, though there is an expectation that they will be kept private.
However, they've been disclosed to someone in charge of the contact centre you're using. How is that not relevant to your case?
