My x-wife and i have been separated for almost 2 years. We have 2 children together. She has since re-married with custody of the children.
The parenting plan states that she is to make the resources available for my children to call me. There is no mention in the parenting plan what the time line is for the calls. She states every 2 or 3 days is ample time. Something i plan on fixing with a mediator and modification to the parenting plan.
When they do not call, i call them to tell them good night and i love them, I do not speak to my x or her husband unless they answer the phone and i say "boys please". They claim my calls are harassment and are threatening legal action if i don't stop calling my children. No-where in the parenting plan does it state i can not call them.
I usually call until i get the answering machine and leave a message. I have called multiple times in a night, and will stop since that could be seen as unreasonable.
Am i harassing them?

No, I think you are doing everything possible to stay involved with your children. Just be careful how late you call and of how many times in a night you call.Keep a record of when you try to call though so no one can say that you don't try. Best to work all these things out with a mediator. Good luck to you.

At what time during the night are you calling them? Are you calling more than once a day?
Set a specific time during the day for you to call, be considerate that they have to do homework, have dinner and observe bed time.
Tell your ex that you would like to have a time for you to call that would not interfere with the normal routine.
Good luck

Nope. Not harrassment and good for you for stepping up for your kids, even though the ex is making it a pain. They need your love and will love you for making them feel important. Good for you!
I would look up harrassment in your state just to cover your butt and to know your boundaries, but you have a right to see and talk to your kids. They need you. Great job.
