How to Handle Your Ex after Divorce

Divorce brings with itself a basket of agonies. For some people it’s the end of all bitterness and beginning of a new life. But for some men and women divorce does not solve all the problems as their ex stays revengeful and create problems. This article has some advice on how to handle your ex after divorce, in case he or she is creating trouble for you.

Dorothy’s husband had become a drug addict and so she divorced him. However, her ex husband became revengeful and kept troubling her after divorce. He went and created ruckus in her office, used to trouble her in public places, and even defamed her character among common friends. Dorothy wanted to run away to another city but she could not leave her job.

There are many divorcees like Dorothy who want to come out of their past but have to struggle with a difficult ex spouse. Dealing with a difficult ex spouse becomes tougher if children are involved. Many parents are not happy with custody arrangements and want the legal custody of the child. Such people can create hurdles for their ex or try to influence the children.

Parental Alienation is one such problem that the ex spouse can create. It is a situation where the child is completely alienated from one of the parent with the help of wrong and unethical means like false allegations, and misrepresentation. Michael faced the same problem after divorce. He stayed back in Sydney after divorce while his wife shifted to Melbourne with their 10 year old daughter.

Michael’s wife brainwashed the daughter to believe that her father was not a good person and never cared for them. The child became so antagonized that she denied meeting Michael when he came to Melbourne. This is a typical case of PAS where the child and father were alienated from each other without any right basis.

PAS is just an example of the problems that an ex can create. There are many ways a person can trouble his or ex spouse. Here are a few tips on how to handle a difficult ex:

1. Be Firm with your ex. Make it clear to him or her that you can resort to legal action in case this does not stop. And take the help of law or police whenever required. There are many agencies in Australia that provide help
2. Talk it out with your ex and ask what he actually wants. Many times it’s the communication gap that is the root of all the problems. After a face to face meeting probably you can assess the cause of your ex’s behavior and try to solve the problem.
3. It is a good idea to take the help of a common friend or relative who can give you advice. They can also meet your ex spouse and try to stop him or her from doing negative things.
