Don't be so daft.

Call the court the day before and explain and ask. Sending a 'letter of complaint' will only rile folk.

Why is ianandrew being daft? His complaint is about the ex and her family not the court staff.

He's writing to complain about the way the attending family of his ex behaved towards him and his parents whilst in the waiting room at court. They were abusive enough for the usher to have stern words with them and escort ianandrew and his parents to their car afterwards...the usher must have felt there was a possibility of a situation or he wouldnt have done that.

I suggested ianandrew write to the court and thank the usher for his support, and ask that they be allowed to use a seperate waiting area the next time they are in court. This is accepted practice.

Dont forget to put your case number on the letter ianandrew....I think you would address it to the Clerk of the Court but it wouldnt hurt to telephone the court, explain what the letter is about and ask who you should address it to. 🙂

If you and your family are afraid/scared of them then you have every right to contact the police and report it as harassment.

some while ago i had arranged to meet with my child's doctors to prove who i was (birth certs etc...) the doctors is in the local area near where my ex lives....she saw my car parked and reported that i had follwed her from court. i had proof of needing to be there and got my ex a slap on the wrist for it but had i not i had that i was told would have been given a verbal warning to keep away.

so.....if you have been verbally or physically abused go to the police....do not do as i did and back down!...the office i reported my ex to some years ago asked me if me making the complaint would not just agrevate things and being a domestic could make it worse for me seeing my little one....i thought about it and didn't pursue it.......having been now put through the 3yrs of [censored] the ex has put me through i really wish i had logged it when i had the chance....it would have helped me quite a lot.

I'm not into twitter much, but I follow our local police tweeter, and a few days ago, they tweeted that they had attended a DV and recorded it as a non-crime. I queried this and they replied that if there are no offences, and it's just verbal argument, they record it as a non-crime DV so they still have a record of it (presumably if it escalates in the future) - so it's definitely worth reporting in my view.
