Son has just moved out of his Dad's (he moved there last year to attend a specialist college). His Dad and I have been divorced since he was six months. He is now 18.

Exh is very abusive. Has been mentally, verbally and physically abusive to me over a prolonged period of 18 years to the point he has been arrested and had non molestation orders served, I could go on.

Son, with me and my parents help, has moved into a rental this week. Today my exh turned up at my son's work. It took son 10 minutes to get his Dad to leave (son has not been treated well by his Dad so he wants nothing to do with him, but no abuse that I know of).

Son is now very anxious that he is going to have problems with his Dad.

He has told his Dad he does not want to see him, and I have told son he should keep a diary of dates and times just in case.

I know I could be coloured by my experience with the man, but I am now really anxious. Is there anything else I can do to keep my son safe?

Your son can get a non-mol order for himself.

If only these types could just fall off a cliff somewhere.

I was hoping someone would say possible non-mol @springydaff

That's good, will tell son I will fund it.

If only these types could just fall off a cliff somewhere.. Yes, these bastards tend to live forever, like cacti!

Does he work at the sort of place with a reception desk or a security guard. A lot of work places are very good if you're honest with them and ask for dad to be turned away at the entrance. It's not fair for it to affect your son at work.

Sadly not @blackcat86 he is working in fast food whilst studying full time. He has another two years left of his course too. Thankfully he did have a discussion with the manager before he moved because he thought this might happen, but he is concerned his Dad will keep on turning up. Transpires dad also turned up at son's exes too, and friend requested him on Instagram even though son told him he doesn't want anything to do with him, and to leave him be.

I have told son to keep a comprehensive diary. He visits me the end of June, so I will run it by my solicitor then as I am away at the moment. Have told son to complain to Police in the mean time if it escalates.

His father turned up twice hassling him today at his work. Son is going to report to police, but I need to help him complete a non-mol don't I?

Yes he needs a non-mol. If he’s low income he’ll get legal aid. The order can bar him from his home and workplace. Poor lad, glad he’s got your support
