Ex’s new girlfriend sending abusive and threatening messages

8 replies

Stressedmotherof3 · 13/09/2019 05:00

Hi,
I have been receiving abusive and threatening messages from my ex’s new girlfriend. I have informed the police who are going to tell her to back off.
I am now worried about sending my son to his dads while she is there. We have a court order that says my son has to go to him 3/4 Saturdays.
I have tried Talking to my ex and his only reply was it’s none of my business who sees our son when he’s with him.

Is there anything I can do? Would you send your child?

Thanks

I'd be refusing to send my son there and seeking legal advice about getting the court order overturned in the light of this.

I would ask the police for advice.

Keep all the messages as evidence.

Document everything he and the dirt skank says to you keep it as evidence. And stress to courts that his new slut is very abusive and you fear for your child safety with him and her.

The police have said because she hasn’t hurt my son there is no crime for them to get involved with. All they can do is tell her to leave me alone

It would depend on the nature of the messages and the context in which they were written as to whether she could be seen as a risk to your child.

Depending on that, I may pursue a prohibited steps order under urgency and withhold my child in the mean time, after having filed with the court (including this detail in the application). However, that would depend on the content of the messages and background.

Can you afford a solicitor?

thanks for your reply’s. Unfortunately I can’t afford a solicitor. Looks like my only option would to go back to court

I would withhold my child and let ex take me back to court. You've asked him reasonably to ensure that a woman who has made threats against you and had to be visited by the police does not have access to your son, and he is refusing to agree. Ball's in his court if he's going to prioritise his new gf over his child.
