I need advice for a friend. She split up with her ex 3 years ago and they had two children together. She found out after 6 months after they split up that he had a fathered a little girl and the child is 3 months younger than her youngest. Up to last year, he had text my friend constantly, mostly without reply to drive her mad. He would take the kids every second weekend most of the time, sometimes at the last minute saying he can't without much sign of remorse. She finally took him to court last summer to negotiate access permanently, the only thing she asked was that he does not tell the children who the little girl is until they're older, as they do play together and as the kids are too young to understand. He went ahead and told them anyway last week. Now her child that's only 5 is upset and doesn't understand the situation. Shes at her wits end because he seems to be either doing something behind her back or texting unnecessarily a lot of the time.

Is there any suggestions anyone could give? Any legal suggestions or any other advice? She's thinking of moving as a last resort but then is worried that she'll be isolated and she needs support.
