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 (father to 4 of my children) 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.

Hi,

is the domestic violence documented? If it is then you absolutely don't have to inform him. If it's not documented then you should contact a solicitor specialising in family law to see if this is covered in the decisions a parent with parental responsibility must be involved in. That is presuming your ex has parental responsibility, if he doesn't then there is no need to tell him anything xxx

It's all documented I've got copies of it all too. He does have parental responsibility but hasn't been in the children's life's for years x

Social services have left us alone now and closed our case in July they never said I had to inform my ex partner yet the police who do check ups on my potential partner have said we must inform the ex husband. Its all so conflicting. Our 8 year old would just like to know if and when daddy is coming home
