Woke_Up,

I haven't read your entire thread, but I assume you've discussed your situation with a lawyer/solicitor. Is that correct?

My situation is probably somewhat unique. I keep my sons safe because the OM fears me and my XW fears she'll lose custody of the boys. I reinforce their (OM and XW) fears on occasion. Also, both of my sons have a cell phone and they're old enough to call and get help.

I don't particularly like being a bully, but it keeps my sons safe. They are never physically exposed to the OM so it's worth the effort.

In your situation, I think finding a good lawyer that will help is probably your best bet.
