Things have reached an all time low with the conflict that my ex-husband creates. He has had me in non-stop litigation for 5 years now some of the claims and motions he has put before the court are perjusry. I suspect he does this in an attempt to bully?abuse me because it certainly is not about his children.
Around Christmas time there was a motion heard that he brought before the court and he was not sucessful, in fact he was ridiculed in court for being unreasonable and constantly litigating small issues.
My daughters have returned home from their scheduled spring break visit very distraught. The oldest has filled me in on what has happened and it appears he has turned his anger and hatred of me onto the kids now. He is involving them in adult issues, court matters and telling very hurtful lies about myself and my husband. He insits the kids pick one parent or the other and tells them they have a right to choose where they live. (I have sole custody). The oldest, 14, obviously is upset but see right through it but the youngest 11 is just destroyed emotionally. They do already talk to someone.
I guess the advice I am seeking is what can be done legally to remedy this. How can I put an end to this? How do I put an end to the non-stop litigation that obviously goes nowhere? Whatever happened this past week must have been just horrible to have affected my yougest this way. Is this not considered emotional abuse?
I try to encourage them to have a relationship even though things have not always been great with their father. I want the time he share with them to be as positive as possible but feel I am totally helpless with all this. We have been divorced for a very long time and he was relativly uninterested in being a father until I had remarried and since then has stopped at nothing to attempt to make my life as uncomfortable as possible. This takes a new low though.
Where does one draw the line between promoting a relationship with their father and protecting them from emotional harm? ugg. this is just killing me inside.
