I separated from my partner 2 years ago. He was physically abusive but I never reported the abuse.
For the first year after separating I allowed him inside my home and he didn't take the kids back to his home often. The abuse continued so I stopped letting him in the home. He then started taking the kids more and on average takes them 2 to 3 nights per week.
I am hoping to ask for 2 half days per week and no nights. The reason is he is emotionally abusive. Some examples are
: Prevents my son attending counselling by telling him only faggots talk about their feelings
: if my kids ask to go back to my house they are called sooks
: he pits one child against the other
: he taunts one child and encourages the other child to join in
: teases 12 yr old daughter about puberty
: tells my daughter girls who wear makeup are whores
He has a past history of physically and emotionally abusing his adult daughter from another relationship
Would a magistrate consider reducing his current pattern of taking kids overnight?
