The "desist" note instructs the pair not to tag him on social media, after it emerged he blocked them on Instagram when Posh liked a cooking video he had shared, which was considered a breach of the legal request.
The like led to a further fall-out last month, with youngest son Cruz, 20, posting: "They (my parents) woke up blocked . . . so did I."
Brooklyn's wife Nicola, 31, has also now blocked the Beckhams, after it was revealed the couple believe their requests for private reconciliation were ignored.

A source told Sun Online that people "do not know the full facts,' adding the pubic believes Brooklyn was "being truculent" when he blocked his parents.
"The reality is that he issued them with a letter at the end of last summer, asking for any correspondence to go via lawyers only, and wanted to try and make amends privately not publicly, the source said.
"He felt his parents continued to ignore his wishes and kept mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately."
They added that there was "no malice" from David, 50, and Victoria, 51, who accept that any reconciliation must be done privately.
The feud allegedly began when Sir David and Victoria discovered they had not been invited to 26-year-old Brooklyn’s vow renewal ceremony to his wife Nicola.
But other reports suggest his brother Romeo began dating Brooklyn's ex Kim Turnbull, which was denied by the rest of the family.
Last month, Cruz claimed Cruz, his estranged brother recently blocked his entire family on Instagram, including his 14-year-old sister Harper.
David and Victoria are represented by King Charles’s £800-an-hour lawyers Harbottle & Lewis and it is not known how they replied to the initial letter.
However, it is understood this was the last formal contact between all parties.
