Have posted an epic post in contact and residence giving some of the background, and have just been browsing some of the forums.

Have an L hearing in the pipeline, as well as an application for defined contact.

Ex already has a caution for assaulting my eldest daughter, with 2 further assaults under investigation.

Thinking way down the line, solicitor has included a request that ex undertake an IDAP program if the L hearing goes my way. But am wondering if there are any other court ordered programs for parenting that I could ask Ex to be ordered to do ?
He has issues around night wakenings, managing conflict amongst the children (there is very little of this when they are not with him), and is really strglling to deal with DD entering puberty and having opinions of her own.

thanks for any pointers.

One program that is mentioned on here a lot is the Parenting Information Programme (PIP). I havent been on it myself but i have been told about it from someone who has. Its basically a course that both parents attend (separately if needs be) to understand how a divorce or separation and your behaviour as a parent can affect a child.

As far as i am aware it is more abut the parents relationship with each other rather than with the children but from what i have heard it has positive outcomes and is worth at least looking into.

Hope that helps.
