Hi Tim,
Is there a ‘direct message’ process on here? I have an almost comparable situation…but about 2yrs down the chain of woe.
I appreciate that comments above don’t contribute much to the general thread….sorry!!
In my experience/opinion, where there is an acrimonious breakup OP would be absolutely right to minimise chance of interactions. When the other party tries to break through this because they can’t deal without their drama, the real nightmare begins, police, non-molestation orders, cafcass.
Also let’s not kid ourselves, all parts of the system is gravely bias towards the female in almost every regard.
