My ex is currently taking me to court to try and get custody of my DC, citing historic MH problems. He’s abusive and at drop offs and pick ups will verbally abusive and sometimes threaten me. I dread having to see him and feel very anxious. We can’t avoid them though as DC are very young and don’t go to nursery on the right days to make picking up/dropping off from there possible. Neither of us have family close by to do it either. I’ve also explored the contact centre option but it’s too expensive. I have a solicitor who is aware of his behaviour but she hasn’t really suggested anything I can do. I have no proof of his abusive as it’s always in person, he seems very conscious of writing anything over text. I’m very much alone and don’t have friends nearby who could come with me for drop offs. I thought about getting a restraining order (I think now called a non-molestation order?) but 1. How can I prove his abuse if I have no evidence? (He also physically assaulted me in front of DC one time and I reported this to police) and 2. What good would it actually do if DC still need to be dropped off? Does anyone have one of these and manages to share custody of young children? Feeling pretty hopeless..
