Has Anyone Had Any Experience of a Prohibited Steps Order??

taggiesgirl

Hiya kind people
was wondering if anyone has had any experience of 'Prohibited Steps Order' or if anyone knows more detail as to what it is etc...
Am thinking of applying for one with regards to my ex's wife attending our sons communion next year. (i know im a bit ahead of myself).
My ex is welcome to attend as are his family its just his wife that I have the problem with. Just to get that straight.

Thanks all xx

Aren't they for use when you are worried that your partner will take the children out of the country or will try and abduct them?

Is this woman really so bad?

Read "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and you will not need the communion and so whe will not be a problem

A PSO is an order obtained under section 8 of the children act 1989. its prevents an action in relation to a child. This could include preventing a child being removed from the care/control of a parent or out of the country without consent or further order.

The order will not relate to an adult attending a communion.

if the woman is violent or harrasses, pesters or intimidates you, then you may be looking at a non-molestation order. but you would need evidence that there is a genuine risk of harm.

unless you provide further details i cant really advise you. If you just dont want her at the communion because you dont like her, then it is unlikely that any court will assist you.

is right. I have successfully had 2 PSO orders applied against my ex in the past but for more serious child welfare issues.

If i was you write them a polite letter asking them to respect your privacy and space and please state "your attendance is not invited at this private function". if they attend call the police or ask a family friend to tell them politely as a strong warning to go before they ask for help.

BTW why dont you want her there??

I suspect the church bit will be open to the public so don't really see how you can stop her just because you don't like her

Obviously if you are having a private family party afterwards you can ban or invite who you like

Mookiandco is right. A PSO is not applicable here. Best bet is to speak discretely to your ex and sort it out that way. Church is not the right time to sort that sort of stuff out.

If you really hate her that much you should just kill her prior to the communion.

Never mind the ex's wife. What about the poor child being indoctrinated by brainwashing into a religion, when it is too young to make its mind up about and understand fully. It is child abuse not physical but mental

I was brought up in a strict catholic family and quite frankly I dont believe there is a god, and if there is one he's doing a shi-t job and the devil is clearly winning. look at the state of the world.

The kid will realise when he is older that this so called god does not exist

Anyway. off topic. Seriously, do the ex in if she's that bad, even if you only temporarily maime her. I've heard rat poison is good.

Perhaps we could do the OP the courtesy of considering the question in general terms of preventing someone from attending a function at which their presence is not welcome, rather than attacking their personal beliefs?

If you want to debate whether sharing beliefs with a child is child abuse because you disagree with those beliefs, the place to do it is Discussion Time.

For the OP, have you considered what effect a polite request not to attend would have on your ex and his current wife? And if it's likely to blow up into a huge row, sulks, tantrums, or just general ill-feeling, is it worth it? This is an important day for your child, and there will be others in the future, so if you cannot learn to love her as presumably your ex does, is there any possibility of tolerating her presence?
