I was recently divorced and relocated to another state; I have a 6 year old daughter from the marriage. My ex changed her home number and cell phone number so that I would not be able to call my daughter, because she says that she does not like the fact that I interfere with there life. I had to file a motion with the court to make her give me that phone number and I have the judge’s order that states that she has to, but she still refuse’s. She is saying that since I have her new cell phone number (got it off the caller id when she called to yell at me, when she got served with the motion paperwork) she is not giving me the home phone number. This cell phone is one that she use’s for work and most nights it is turned off so that I can not reach my daughter. What do I do now? I have an email from here where she has told me that she does not care about the order she will not giving me the phone number, since I have her cell phone.

She is in contempt of the court's order and can be put in jail for it; however, that will not likely happen. Contact the clerk of Court where your decree of divorce was entered to have a copy of the file sent to you; any new information, such as phone number, are also required to be reported to the court. She may have done so in writing. You may also be able to just ask the clerk of court for the phone number. We sometimes give out information like that if it ordered that it be shared between the parents. You can also open a case with your local child support office, and your caseworker may be able to help you.

When a child is involved in such a feud usually the courts will let the child decide who they want to see, but you sound like you really do care so take your ex back to court, tell the judge that your relationship with your child is being strained because your ex refuses to give you the home number, the court will probably look into joint custody issues, it really sound like your ex really isnt thinking about your daughters well being, cause for a child to grow up correctly they need input from both parents. The courts are different now if they believe that by your ex giving refusing access to her number that the child is going to suffer then they will look at joint custody.

Back to court. But you knew that. You may have to move back into her state/city. Sue for sole custody and child support. Settle for joint custody. Don't let the ***** turn your daughter against you. As the daughter gets older you can give her a phone to use only to phone you. Good luck with this mess and the nut case.

Refusal to allow contact with a non-custodial parent and disobedience of an express court order to do so can be grounds for a change of custody. We call this the nuclear option. Talk to an attorney if you want to go this route. And don't erase that e-mail!

Go back to court. All she is doing right now is giving you a very good chance at getting full custody. Courts really frown on anyone who keeps their child from the other parent for ANY reason! Good luck!
There are some really good parenting groups on Yahoo. You may look for one dealing with custody and get some good advice from the group.

She is in contempt of court and you need to contact the local police for her town and keep a copy of the e-mail to show to them, you need to also go back to court she cannot break the law and thin k that nothing is going to happen to her. What happens if they are in contempt they go to jail. So if she is the ***** that she sounds like she needs to sits her butt in jail, maybe make her think she isnt god for once in her life. When I hear this stuff it makes me angry cause some woman are just self absorbed My husbands kids mom thinks that making her kid hate us is funny. All they are doing is hurting the kid she needs to realize that it isnt about her feelings anymore. Stick it to her. You do need to call the police and tell them you have a court order for her home phone number and she refuses to give it to you and then show them the e-mail she sent to you, then go back to court and she will be found in contempt and if she still doesnt give it to you she will go to jail, the judge will tell her this then you will most likely end up with the child. Good luck those who dont play fair are the ones who loose.

You can take her back through court she will give you the phone number or go to jail in which case you would get custody of the daughter.

Contact a lawyer. Dependant on your state and local laws, she could be held in contempt, fined or possibly jailed. Presuming you guys arranged a schedule and she retained custody in the divorce, if she keeps interfering with your visitation, you could seek to modify the arrangement for either joint custody, or sole. Any mean messages, letters or such she leaves, save them all. Judges tend to be biased in child custody cases and won't believe the father if he claims the mother is acting unreasonably. Make sure you are up to date on all support payments and medical bill allowances. But definitely, contact an attorney.

once you've contacted an legal specialist, you want to watch for his advisement. you're saying your ex "needs to flow" in this chum's residing house, meaning he hasn't moved there yet, so there's no reason the youngsters won't be able to visit their father the following day. the reality is that you do not favor the youngsters vacationing him in any respect. The sex criminal is only a way of preventing the visits altogether. i'm not putting forward you mustn't be worried about this human being, yet it really is not your genuine reason. you've a issue consisting of his spouse and her 3 little ones. So what if there'll be 5 childrens, with your little ones vacationing? the guy has a good to have his personal existence. No, you've yet another purpose, and also you recognize it.

We only hear one side here. As a parent going through a similar situation, I have to remind you that you were the one who chose to relocate.
Often new spouses encourage parents to slack off on their obligations to previous kids. If you think a phone relationship will be sufficient, you are wrong. It hurts the kid more than it helps her.
Yes, your ex should let you talk on the phone with the kid. But, by experience, the time will come when the kid will reject it because there are far more interesting and important things to do than talk on the phone with this stranger. You should make an effort to VISIT your kid, and prioritize spending quality time with her. You'll have new kids with a new spouse and guess what, this one that came first will go straight to the backburner.
A phone isn't going to do it, pal
