wife took off with my then 8 mth old son 1000 miles away.I was his Primary Caregiver and she did not let me have any contact with him for almost 4 mths until a Court Ordered 20 day visitation period.Of course she wanted to call everyday,at least twice a day to talk to the baby while he was with me,but often does not pick up or return my calls now that he has been back with her for a week.I know it must be very heart breaking and confusing and scary to him to be taken from one home to another and phone calls seem like a harsh thing to do to a baby,now 13 mths old.Regardless of which Parent obtains Primary Custody,in a long distance case like this,what is the best amount of phone contact for such a young child with an estranged parent?I have not moved closer to her for mainly I feel I WILL get Full Custody and want to save our home.I am very confident she will move back down here after I gain custody of the child and if I throw this to her State I would lose the ability to get my 10 witnesses in court that submitted Notarized Affadavits in my favor that I was the Primary Caregiver and very involved with my son daily in the neighborhood and mommy was out running around.But I do not know what type of contact is best for the child in a 1000 mile apart relationship if she gets summers and every other holiday instead of limited supervised visitation which is what the counselor suggested and I believe our Sons Guardian Ad Litem will recomend.I do not beleive my wife even realises that she will at most get the baby only 8 mths out of the year,but will most likely end up with just a couple of weeks of suervised vistation per year after what she did and her psychiatric conditions are introduced to the Judge.I feel so bad for the baby that I almost want to just drop out of his life and just send money until he is old enough to understand more,but I am so afraid of his living conditions,mommies mental state,his grandparents abuse.Counselor advise DCFS investigate,but DCFS said they will not take the report seriously unless the Counselor or Atty made the report due to I am in a custody battle with her and I had initially agreed to her getting temp custody of the child
