I am have a big problems with my ex and kids father he tries to control ever aspect of my life from the way the kids are being brought up to whom I am aloud to see and who is aloud around the them. He has moved on with his life and has married with no objections from me everytime that I try to move on he steps in and says that if I don't do things his way he will take me back to court. He isn't that interested in the kids unless he can use them against me.

I would tell him striaght out if you wanna take me to court then go for it. Don't let him manipulate you. What does he have on you that scares you about him taking you to court? You obviously won custody the first time so what is the big deal? I am not one that deals with threats well, If someone threatens me I tell them to bring it on and they usually drop whatever silly thing they are doing because they have nothing and know nothing that would hold up anywhere. I hate ex's that try to do this crap and you just gotta face them head on and show them that you are not going to take their crap. It is much like a child if you do not show them that they are to respect you they will not.

Well, as long as you allow him to run your life, then he will be running it every moment. First, if you're not doing anything illegal under the Law then he can't have anything against you in court. I say file a restraining order against him, verbal abuse and all. Then don't talk to him anymore. Let him have his visiting right and all but don't bother talking to him about anything at all. Don't consult him nor do anything involving him. Hey, he's your EX for a good reason. So start acting like he's your EX and not your current.

i think one way of getting out from the control of anyone is to show that you can do things without him, that you are not dependent on him, that you are capable of running things, that you are a partner and not a slave. if he is your ex, the more that you have the right or you are entitled to move on with your life. goodluck and more power on your decision.
