Is it possible to totally avoid seeing ex for months?

Even when you have dcs together? Youngest is 10.

Can every arrangement be done via email / What's App??

I just don't want to see him at all. He's prone to mouth frothing rages and the occasional physical violence.

Yes. Very possible.

Kids dropped at the gate.
Correspondence via email.

Life changing.

If the oldest is old enough to be in charge of the 10 year old for half an hour (maybe 13-14 depending on personalities) then you don’t even need to park outside your ex’s house - drop them off a house or two down the road, and leave. Oldest kid needs a cell phone to be able to call for immediate pick up if anything goes wrong (eg ex has fucked off out to scare you).
How do picks ups work? Could you send someone else to collect them at the end of their time with their dad? Or if he drops off, can someone else answer the door if he’s likely to get out the car looking for an argument?

Haven’t seen mine in 18 months 🤷‍♀️ If he is violent then can’t you stop contact? Or is it court ordered?
