How do I get a non molestation order?

I'm having a truly awful time with EA ex and father of DC. I emailed mediator today to say that I would be stopping going due to his behaviour (and copied him in).

I emailed him as recently as yesterday to say DC ill but despite this he contacted my parents today about me not being in communication with him.

He's previously been telling people I'm mad. His new gf is a psychiatrist so he's got lots of support on that front now too. From what's written it feels like he's wanting to get them both on side and start the whole she's mad thing with them.

That's the general script in the town we live in that he's feeding people. He thinks they're reasonable and I'm not so he'll be saying I've tried everything to communicate with her...

'Thanks (my dad) for helping out, as ever it's much appreciated. I also wanted to have a conversation and ask your opinion about communication with (me) , it's getting worse and I'd really like to stop that if possible. However if you feel this isn't appropriate I understand.'

This is the most recent in a long line of EA stuff all aimed at making me look loopy. I'm doing bulk of childcare and have a specific email set up to manage communicating with him. But solely around childcare.

I feel under attack. I haven't slept for months and he's so good at covering his tracks and making his behaviour seem like it's my fault that I just find it hard to function.

National DV charity said get a non molestation order but the person I spoke to didn't know how to go about it. Anyone been through this or know how to do so?

I'm aware this is just one incident but it's been going on for years and far worse since I left him last year. I'm exhausted and mentally frazzled. What do I do?

Feels like he's now trying to get my parents on his side. This is someone who essentially disappeared off to party all last year and wasn't around. Now he's in a relationship he is ramping up the control stuff again.

I know it's not physical violence but I'm really really scared of him. He's incredibly charming and every one loves him. He's in a position of power and I'm a broke single mum so feeling very vulnerable.

Advice please?

You would get one by going to a family law solicitor and enquiring about one. order Rights Of Women has some useful info about them.

But I can't see how you would get one on the basis of what you've described. You need to show that he is harassing, intimidating, or pestering you. The message you quoted wouldn't rise to that level.
