my x husband wont answer the phone 2 let me talk 2 my 4 yr old son. what legal actions can i take?

Answer 1

You'll have to contact a lawyer. If you've been through a custody fight you should have some kind of rights. If not, then it's time to get them.

Answer 2

It depends on what contact arrangements you have. Your husband can't really bar you from talking to your son, unless under exceptional circumstances. If he does that, he might even lose custody of the child, to you.

Basically, you need to get a good lawyer, who is experienced in child custody cases. Your lawyer will serve a notice to the father. If he fails to rectify his ways, then you will have to go to the court and get an order in your favour forcing the father to let you talk to your son.

Answer 3

I suggest you contact a solicitor tomorrow, unfortunately there is not much you can do on a weekend unless you think the child is in danger, then you can call the police and get them to check on his welfare.

If your ex is continuly being akward you need to go and see a solicitor and exlain what is going on, you dont say whether you or your ex have custody, either way you have the right to see/speak to your son. Explain to the solicitor all that your ex is doing, also keep a written diary of everything, it all helps in evidence gathering should you need to go to court at a later date.

Answer 4

Call the police. You have the right to be concerned about your son if your ex won't answer the phone.

That happened to my sister one night. She finally got ahold of his mother and they went over to the house. Only to find out that, with my nephew in the house, her ex has overdosed on drugs. He almost died. If my sister hadn't done something, he probably would have and my nephew could have been there for days without food and water if my sister had trusted him.

You also need to talk to a lawyer and find out what your rights are. They give free consultations generally and you should get it done immediately.

Answer 5

If he has custody , petition family court . You have the right 2 speak 2 your child unless there is an order from family court that states your not allowed 2 speak 2 him.

Answer 6

i have a friend who has a similar situation. without more details about your situation, i can only tell you what he was told. his ex-wife has custody, but he also has visitation, etc. he needs to go to court and prove that she is in contempt of the agreement. you probably need to do the same thing. sit down with your lawyer, go over you custody agreement. be clear about what rights you both have, and if you believe he is in contempt of the order, file. even if he's within his legal rights, you can always try going back to family court to amend the agreement. good luck.

Answer 7

my best advice is talk to your ex and try to work things out and get a time when it can be yours and your son's time and make it a habit to call that time ever day or once or twice a week more to the are you upsetting your son? Put him first are you calling at a good time you don't want to call right before bed it may get him upset or where he does not want to go to bed

Answer 8

Depends on if you have joint custody or if not , who has sole custody.
If he has them for the weekend and your calling to check on them he may just see that as interference and not answer the phone.
He has that right as long as he has never abused them.
Do not ever use your children as a tool to meddle in his life and do not let him do that with you.

Answer 9

Joint custody or does he have full custody? Are their visitation rights? It all depends. If he is breaking visitation then try to hit him of on kidnapping and then get a restraining order...followed by a petition for full custody.

Answer 10

You need to file a petition. If you actually have court appointed custody, then I would call the police.
