The court heard that the offences amounted to a pattern of misconduct towards the woman.
In response, the sheriff ordered that the man must not approach, contact, or attempt to contact her for the duration of the order.
An exception was made to allow contact only where it is specifically authorised by the court in relation to matters concerning their child.
