If you remember my post a few weeks ago, please help!

[BeautifulLiar]

Me and my DC have moved away.
Lovely new place, lovely house, lovely fiance!
Away from my abusive, violent, manipulative, drinking, drug taking ex husband.
We lived down the road from him for over 18 months and he barely bothered with his DC. Social services were involved with his shit parenting.

He has just messaged one of my best friends the following

"Hi, can you tell me Beautiful's address please as I've just been informed that she's moved out of town. Sorry if this is inconvenient but I want to know where my kids are. Thanks."

Fuck. I'm crapping myself. She's blocked him of course. I just can't believe this. All that time he had to "see his kids". Even when we were together he was never there. He walked out on his newborn baby fgs!

I'm shaking

To clarify - he last saw his DC in June 2017 for a few hours, and a few hours in March before that!

Erm unless he's prohibited by court to see his children,he has a right to know where they live.

I'm not sure on the legalities but I think the fact he's only bothered with them now because you're trying to make a new life for yourself speaks volumes.

You don't have to give him your address, as long as you stick to any pre arranged access or court orders.
I would text him, tell him you are not willing to give him your address however he can email you about the children and you are happy to arrange a visit for him and the children at a mutualy agreeable location.
Unless social services or the courts have forbidden access I don't think legally you can either.

Of course she doesn't have to tell him their address

A right to access isn't the same as a right to know residential address I don't think. What access arrangements are in place, and are they court ordered?

If there is no agreed access in place, I would follow the suggestion above and text him to supply an email address where he can discuss access/contact arrangements.

He definitely doesn't have a right to know my address! I know that much. I've changed my number and certainly won't be giving him it! He is definitely only bothered because I've moved on. Social services told us he needs to be supervised. Nothing is court ordered

He’s only showing interest because he’s bothered you’ve moved on and he can’t do anything about it. Good luck

That's what I thought, sparkle.
We were in the same house in the same village for over 18 months. When he first walked out on is I practically begged him to agree to a consistent, reliable contact arrangement (yes it killed me but I needed a break too!) But he refused.

He would never have let me have free time! And he much preferred going out and getting drink to seeing his children.

Drunk*

He will soon get bored and hopefully leave you alone, when I left my ex and took my kids I sure as hell didn’t tell him my address, the last thing I wanted was him on doorstep
