| why the ex wife blocks the dad from contacting his kids ?
Posted: 8/26/2008 5:16:22 PM | | My ex didn't like our daughter to call me and would yell in the back ground for her to get off his phone. So for Christmas that year I got everyone phones. I gave him the phone numbers also. He rarely calls their phones, they have to call him and speak to the step mother first. The boys have a myspace and they all have email accounts. I have given him all of this info. He has never emailed the boys and only a nasty response back to our daughter. She wrote him and told him how she felt about him leaving her rectial before talking to her. So some ex's just try to do hurtful things. I would follow the advice that you have got and get it in court papers. | |

Posted: 8/26/2008 5:38:05 PM | My wife gets to see the kids every other weekend and every Tuesday and Thursday and still manages to call right at bedtime when she calls. I only call when they are there for an extended time over the summer or on school breaks and then early enough to not be a disturbance of their time with mom.
If she did not allow me to talk to them on those long visits, I really don't know how Iwould handle it.... | |

Your lawyer at the time should have outlined this in the court order. If the lawyer has not and this is an on going problem that you and the kids are against, you can file a motion(or something similar in your area) to vary from the existing order. That should help.
I would ask their mother first why these phone calls are such a problem with her? There could be some sort of legitimate reason that you are not aware of. Perhaps its always dinner time or bedtime when these exchanges are to happen. Maybe call at a different time. Or may be she cannot afford these calls? If so, tell the mother to make collect calls.
The other reason would be that their mother, like so many other people will say, is angry at how custody was dealt.
I know this from my own experience. I was awarded joint custody of my kids and my ex was visibly upset at this decision. That was over five years ago and to this date she is still bitter and tries to take her anger out on me. Go figure.
Ask your lawyer what you can do from your end. Good luck. | |

She is making you out to be a non influencial father. What you can do is continue to call the phone and keep records. Write letters and have them send certified, so that there is a signature. Do what ever it takes to ensure that you are making contact with your kids.
She has a plan. | |

I have a 6 p.m. daily phone call per the court order. It's useless because my ex-wife simpy refuses to cooperate.

I have open access to my sons. I can basically take them whenever I want, and I do.
But mom still tries to hold control, as if to do it only to let me know she is in control.
I have yet to see a report card from the past 2 years, despite my insistance. I call there on an off day to talk to my sons and she throws something out like "make it quick, we're watching a movie" or something equally spiteful. It's only little things, but it's enough that she is clearly exercising any control over me that she can. It's really sad, because it only shows that she has some inner turmoil and she thinks about me enough to want to still punish me after 8 years...I'd love to rip into her, and I think that when my sons are grown, I'll be a little more vocal...but I guess with me it's all about choosing your battles. If it's an issue of communication with yur children for legitimate concern reasons, and obviously it is, I would push it. You must have some sort of Court order, being the custodial parent...I would seek legal advice that would politely require her to lose her hostility and leave the phones turned on. It doesn't have to become a war...just talk to a lawyer, get the best advice and smile and nod while you exercise your rights and what is required of her.. I may be off base a bit here, but I've gone to my lawyer and modified my order to ensure a level playing field...she's licked and screamed from tme to time...it was like,,ok, whatever...just read the new order and have a nice day. ****. | |
