In my divorce my ex-husband terminated his parental rights in order to escape child support. He has sent email every few years out of curiosity but has had no contact with my two daughters. Recently he asked permission to see them and I told him that it was unfair to just show up and leave. I have no interest in having him in our lives but understand that as teenagers the girls have questions and issues with identity which is why I am considering allowing him to do so. Realistically he is going to make a pest of himself when my girls turn 18 so I'd rather control it now while I have some control based on his termination of rights. I asked him to really think about how committed he was to doing this and to let me know exactly what he was looking for and what he was interested in doing for them. Rather than respond to me he has simply started contacting them online. When confronted he more or less told me too bad... you should be used to me doing what I want.
What is good course of action for me? Police? Attorney? Restraining Order? He is essentially a stranger to the girls having been absent for 12 years. He has made no (positive) emotional nor financial contributions to their lives. I simply dont want him forcing his way in and doing further damage.
Thank you,
Gina
