Has a new partner come on the scene.? This happened to a friend of mine. All fine for a couple of years. New partner and whoosh- so much hostility

Yes! New partner who has a very hostile relationship with her own ex partner.

So now it’s all ‘formalising boundaries’ etc when my ex has been a shit dad who’s barely seen the kids in two years 🤷‍♀️ make it make sense

Yep. New partner (for him) came on the scene.
Seven years on and both DCs are adults now and have zero contact with him as he's (as they see) rejected them in favour of the new woman.
You reap what you sow.

Most divorces are messy and it depends on how long the relationship is and how many investments were made together. Only prenupial agreements are helpful.
