Hi I have been a single mum for just shy of five yrs and divorced for almost three.
I share a DD aged 10 with my ex, he is due to get married again in July this year. I am quite content in my own life. When my DD turned 10 as previously agreed I brought her a phone with all social media links blocked, she has what's app and is on several family groups.
But she joined my ex's family tracker app as well as another one I have installed.
At the beginning of the Easter holiday as a treat after dinner I took her to see kung fu panda 4 it was an evening showing, but as it was the holidays. I thought it would be a nice treat for her, and she could relax in the morning/ have a lay in as we wouldn't be home until 10ish.
Well on the way to the cinema, he started ringing her and asking what she was up to? When she told him he said that was late. -the cinema is a deviation from our normal route and she doesn't usually go out much in the evenings with me.
After that little incident, I decided to temp pause her location sharing on his family app. The phone calls over the weekend increased.
Fast forward to her week with him and he removed her phone from her for two days. Stopping her from her daily messages to me.
He has also complained that she spends all hours on the phone. But actually she has daily limits (3hrs/day) and times the phone locks out so she can't use it after 8pm.
I also don't look at the location when she's with him as I feel that's there time
On to, today he has turned up randomly on my doorstep saying he wants to see her. But he sees her once a week for tea and alternate weekends, as well as extra allocated time during the holidays. When I explained she was out playing on the play field with her friends close by l, he went off looking for her. He then reported back that he 'had found her'
When i tried to discuss him not just turning up, he blew me off.
He also keeps turning up at places and calling her a lot to see what she's up to. It feels like he is tracking her.
What can I do? Is he allowed to just turn up?
During our relationship he was very controlling and frequently stopped me going out or seeing friends.
For clarification shes had the phone since March and I now turn off his location sharing app when she is with me but back on when she goes to his.
