Harassment?

Can anyone advise whether this scenario constitutes as harassment please:

DS13 wants no contact with his dad. There is a CAO detailing the contact exh is supposed to have with both DC but he lasted a month after it was granted before he text cutting all contact- that was in November 2019.
In January 2020 exh started showing up at DS football matches, was told to go back to court if he wanted contact to resume because of the break in contact and DCs feelings about seeing him.
He didn’t and still hasn’t.
He is now insisting he will be at all of DSs football matches regardless of how DS feels about it.
DS has told him directly in text and on the phone he doesn’t want to see him or speak to him anymore- exh then ignored his birthday and Christmas for both DC because “they can’t have it both ways”
Exh insists I must have put DS up to it and of course DS actually wants him there but I won’t let him
In all honesty if our son wanted him there it would make life much easier because there wouldn’t be all this aggro trying to get him to respect his sons wishes

I made a post the other day asking if it would be a non molestation or prohibited steps order we would need
Now I’m wondering if we would actually be granted it.

Does exh showing up at a public park he knows his son will be at and he has been told not to come to, count as harassment? Would a judge grant a non mol to stop him?
DS is getting increasingly angry, upset and anxious by the situation, to the point where he’s considering stopping playing altogether

It's a public park. If he is just watching what is upsetting your son in particular?

My ds went nc with his df at 12.. Exh had a court order. No judge would insist on maintaining it at 12.. Suggest to ds he had 6 weeks off. If ex goes I doubt he would after a few weeks of ds not being there. Tell him he has joined a team 50 miles away.

@RedHelenB he shouts during the matches, he doesn’t stand where he’s supposed to, he’s threatened the coaches before but ultimately he finds it upsetting because he doesn’t want to see or speak to his dad and his dad shows up at the football matches which spoils it for him.

@Snowymcsnowsony unfortunately the players names are viewable on the FA website if you have an admin log on which exh does, I’ve already considered saying DS is now playing with another team but because he can see who is registered where and there’s no way to remove DSs name (I’ve tried) then I can’t do that.
I don’t really want to have to make DS miss even more weeks of football either

Feel so helpless in this mess of a situation- DS absolutely doesn’t want to see his dad, his dad won’t listen and insists he does want to see him and there’s nothing I can do to fix it it seems- ex isn’t going to get an attack of conscience anytime soon

I'd have a word with the coaches. It's perfectly ok for them to remove him from having a log in if he's disruptive.

@RedHelenB he has an admin log in because he’s involved with an adult team, it seems it gives access to the whole site and isn’t just team specific unfortunately.
