Children and divorce- keeping abusive ow away

Hi can anyone help at all legally with this. I will speak to a solicitor in RL of course but want a realistic idea of whether I can keep the ow away from my child for peace of mind.

My H had an affair with a woman he worked with. During it she appeared at my kids nursery and booked her kids into the same sports clubs to try get nearer. She got the wrong sessions though so I never had to see her at the sessions thankfully. She contacted me one night when things were not great between them and proceeded to call me over 40 times to try get his new number. I reported her for harassment and soon after she left her job and area. I was given a crime reference and she was informed to stay away from me but no official restraining order etc was in place. I have now found out he had started to message her again and I suspect it is only a matter of time before they hook up again. She was abusive to H too but I am passed caring what she does to him. Is there any way I can incorporate a "no contact" clause between ow and my child in the child arrangement and if so what powers would there be behind it if he breached it?

I'm afraid you won't be able to do this unless you have evidence that she is a safeguarding risk to your children. The basic principle is that you can't control who your children see when they are with him and he can't control who they see when they are with you.
