She isn't going to be able to follow the advice he gives when she still has to coparent with the guy.

OP, if they're minor things, just note them and move on. If he's not returning the children when he's supposed to or something else serious, contact your attorney. He's in the wrong, but you'll need to be in contact with him for many years. You might as well keep it as simple as possible.

I'm dealing with a similar situation and have been for several years. I document everything until it hits a breaking point and then file for enforcement and contempt. The first time it took a year, but I had a documented pattern of behavior and a big enough change in circumstance to get the parenting schedule adjusted. We go through the state for child support, they don't help with enforcement until it gets really bad, but it's a 3rd party documentation and if it does get outrageous, you'll have help getting him to pay.

We're headed back to court for the third time since the divorce 5 years ago, but XH is almost $15K behind on support and there are other issues that our 1st modification didn't address that are now becoming urgent.

You will have to deal with him until your children are grown (and most likely afterwards too). You'll need to figure out what you can live with and what you can't and then be prepared to fight hard to enforce whatever boundaries you set. It's hard to figure out, if you don't have a good therapist, find one. Mine was amazing and helped me figure out what it was that I really wanted, how to accept the fact that I couldn't control or make him comply and how to work around his instability and nastiness. She was also great with helping me figure out how to protect my kid without withholding access or opening myself up to more abuse.

Do you have an attorney? That should be stop #1.

They are worth the money, especially in situations like this.

I have an attorney. Physical abuse. I don't want to be specific, but essentially he willfully ignores requirements in the agreement.

Safest thing is to not get him angry, but his anger isn't something that can really be predicted or controlled.

As for the troll PP, if he had a new girlfriend I would feel sorry for her and worry about what continued abuse my children would witness.

What requirements does he ignore OP? We are trying to see if we can help you get him locked away.

Notification requirements (relocations, job changes, income changes) and late support payments.

Are you saying he is physically abusive to the children?

I'm saying I would worry about the abuse to a new significant other that they could witness.
