I have been divorced for 6 years from an abusive husband. In the divorce I was granted sole physical and legal custody of my ten year old. There is no defined visitation schedule in my divorce papers, it simply states "by agreement of both parties". In the beginning my ex was taking my daughter every other weekend and paying support regularly. Overtime he started falling behind on support and not calling as often for visits. Then he was put in jail for 2 years. While in jail my daughter never got a letter or anything from him. When he was released he wanted to resume visits. (He was by now $7900.00 behind in his child support.) I agreed. Visits were not at all regular, he'd blow her off frequently and no attempt was made to pay support. He was put on disability for being "Mentally Unstable" and therefore unable to work. I called off visitation. This was a year and a half ago. The ex has caold evry few months to see his daughter, (has never asked how she's doing!?) and is just generally harassing (but not threatening) to me. At this point I have been with a great guy for years, my dauhgter calls him da and it's just been great. She doesn't even ask about her "real dad" anymore. He has started calling me constantly about seeing her, having his family (who we haven't heard from in years) calling me and has threatened to take me to court. (I have not told my daughter any of this) With sole custody and all of his inconsistancies on my side I am not that worried about going to court...should I be?
I also need to clarify, my daughter was 3 1/2 when we divorced she is ten now.
