Unless you got loads of money I wouldn't be seeing a solicitor to start court proceedings. solicitors charge a lot of money. Not once in your posts have you mentioned anything about your children and access etc. that would be a real negative if you was to go to family court. they could pick up on your resentment of your ex and her new partner. unless you have strong evidence to support what you are suggesting you could be found to be malicious.
The quickest way to get access to seeing your children is to say nothing negative about ex and fully focus on children.
1st thing you need to do is firstly try and organise amicably access to your kids with ex , mediation if that doesn't work, if mediation doesn't work fill in a c100 to apply for a child arrangements order. you can self represent, if you use a solicitor could cost thousands of pounds.
You have stated you have raised your concerns with all different authorities and have got nowhere , so best thing to do is focus on getting access and let them slip up themselves. if he is driving without car insurance they will catch up with him eventually.
A lot of dads on this forum will have felt like you have and its only when you start going to family court you realise you have to change your gameplan. when you start raising your concerns you will be gobsmacked what your ex will make up to muddy the waters and if represented send your legal bills through the roof
The police are just palming it off .make a complaint and they’ll have to look into it .
Family court is a lot more straight forward than you may think ,very doable with out representation.if you have a complex case and want it , I’d use a direct access barrister . Saved me 1000s compared to solicitor quotes
Also if you want evidence you’re within your rights to film them driving in a public place . Then they can’t ignore your allegation
