Is what my mom's doing illegal?!

Question

My parents divorced about 2 yrs ago and my mother moved out of the country with my 14 yr old sister. I am 21 yrs old and my mother found a conversation on AIM my sister and I had complaining about how things were in and how my sister wanted to come back. She was asking me if it was possible to get out of the situation she was in and upon reading this my mother forbade her to speak to me and made her block my screename and she won't pick up my calls when I call. She also isn't letting my dad contact my sister but that is something that will soon be dealt with..

I know it's illegal for a mother to prohibit her children's father visitation of them but what are my rights as far as being her sister?

Thank you in advance...

I'm sorry that this is happening to you. Unfortunately, there's nothing legally wrong with your mother not allowing you to talk to your sister. However, you can try and get a court order allowing you to and if your mother still wouldn't allow it, that would be illegal. In the meantime, once your dad is contacting her again, see if he'll let you talk at the same time. Best of luck!
