So my ex partner has been to court etc got sentenced (not prison). We were hoping to work on our relationship and hopefully get our family back together I'm no longer under social services and his probation team have said they can't see why he couldn't eventually move him of we worked things out. However police are saying if this were to happen I would need to inform my ex husband we don't speak and he hasn't had any input with the children we separated due to Domestic violence, can anyone advice if I would have to tell him what happend? He isn't a very nice person and nor are the people he associates with. Any advice would great my youngest one really wants daddy around/ eventually home.

My understanding is that the ex has parental rights, which include being informed about major decisions in their childs life.

Being informed does not automatically mean they can stop you doing something, but they could go to the family courts, if they want.
