Should this worry me or am I being overprotective mom?

Question

My kids live with their dad right now going through a custody dispute. In our parenting plan I am allowed to call M,W,F at 530pm on the track phone he got for our kids 5 and 3. I have no way of getting a hold of the dad disconnect his number and he lives 2hrs aways from me. He has numerously not answered the trac phone so I can speak to the kids on my times, now tonight. I am sacared and worried about my k9ids and Friday last week he only let me talk to my daughter. What kind of advice to give me or am I just being worried for reason?

Answer 3

i think that you do seam to have a reason to be worried but only you can truly know. listen to your maternal instincts, and if he continues to not answer your calls than he is violating the custody agreement, and you need to take him to court, but that is just my opinion, just trust yourself it is your job to do what is right in your mind for your children.  

Answer 4

No he is in violation of an agreement , point blank.My advise is you call the local law enforcement or CPS you can do welfare checks on them everyday , you are thier mom, do it . This will start letting him now you are learning your rights and he has no right to violate your agreement or keep you children from you , good luck  

Answer 5

My husband's ex did the same, exact thing to his phone contact.  Started out by limiting it, verbally, beyond the unlimited time that was allowed in the parenting agreement.  No big deal, he was willing to work with her on times.  Then, he was only allowed to call grandma's house between certain hours on certain days.  Then, grandma stopped answering.

They were in court for another issue (equally as insane) & he mentioned the lack of ability to reach her by phone.

Judge ordered her to provide a valid phone number for him.  So, mom gave him her phone number & he began calling there.  A couple weeks after the court case was settled, he started getting the answering machine there until that phone number was, eventually, disconnected, too.

Should you be worried?  Well, yes.  It's hard not to be worried, isn't it?  

What should you do about it?  Even if he won't be civil, you should continue to be.  Talk to your lawyer, who will talk to his lawyer & tell him he's making his case look bad by doing this.  He is.  

Be sure to get copies of your phone records, your attempts to call that number & not have it answered (that will show on the phone record).  Have it ready in court, when the judge is deciding which parent will be best able to respect the other parent's place in the lives of the children.  

Answer 6

You are not overprotective you are a mom! Please don't forget that & feel ashamed about your love for your kids. You love them and any mom who loves her kids will do what she can to protect her kids. (HUGS)

I have heard other moms talk about custody and how hard it is. For the life of me I could not imagine the fear & worry I'd fear! So my heart goes out to you.

If you have a parenting plan & he isn't sticking to it then I'd call a lawyer ASAP or who ever over saw your plan.

If this was something you came up with on your own then you may want to talk to a lawyer. He may feel that if he has to stand up to just you then he can get away with anything.

My heart goes out to you.

Answer 7

Bring it up with your lawyer there may be something you can do about it in court.
