I left my ex-husband because of multiple affairs, his abusive & sadistic language, and he hid over 20k in debt from me. We have a beautiful 4 1/2 year old daughter. He makes substantially more than me and brags about that often, though he was able to afford a bully lawyer who makes his living beating mothers out of their rights. The attorney filed for sole custody and I had to fight hard just to get joint custody with no child support. -Which, honestly, I could have lived with just to keep the peace. But my ex couldn't leave it there. He started sending harassing messages to my boss, who got fed up and asked me to leave a job I was at for nearly 4 years. He's filed a bunch of meritless legal claims, including an order of protection claiming that HE is afraid of ME. He didn't have any evidence of this when we went into court, but that didn't mean that it didn't cost me hundreds in legal fees. -Abuse of process, sure, but no one stops him. To bring things up to date, he's cost me 2 jobs and a babysitter. Just this morning I went to drop my daughter off and the sitter said that she doesn't think it's good for the other children to see the way he treats her and speaks to her when he comes to pick our daughter up on his days, so she won't be able to take care of her anymore. I can't stress enough that I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING to bring this on. I left him! I diivorced him! When you go through that, aren't you supposed to be left alone? I've gone to the police and they can't do anything. He's violated nearly every point of our JPA, but he has me spending so much going into various courts that I can't fight him on those points to get him back in line. He's terrorizing me and I can't get anyone to help me or make him stop. I just want to live my life in peace and I just don't know what to do to make this end. He's engaged to a single mom who has a daughter our daughter's age. But he spends so much time and energy terrorizing me. When will it end?
