My 10 & 12 yr old do not feel welcome at their dad's because of his new girlfriend(she has 2 girls-9 & 2) they moved in 2gether, dont have a home phone, dont let the children use theirs to contact me & usually don't answer if I call to check on my children, nor do they let them call back! I got them their own cell phones, I pay for the plan, phones insured. The GF is having a fit & dont want them to bring them! I know the law-the children can take the phones & dad or gf can't take them from them.(TCA Code-Theft if they try) My children are responsible and kno Cell phone rules. Their dad said they could not bring the phones, now the children are refusing to go I am not sure what to do? Dad's in contempt-behind CS court to follow. Can the Judge make the Order that they can take their phones & dad nor gf have the right to take their phones? It makes me feel like dad & gf have something to hide. The children are going to speak with the Judge, about not going. Advice Please...Thanks

I don't think any judge can make up a law or rule that says no cell phones. The bottom line is they are not keeping an open line of communication for you and your children while they are visiting dad. I would tell the father to realize what message he is giving his children. It's wrong for them to shut you out and expect you to stand by and watch. You are doing the right thing and I applaud you. There are some mother's who would love an un-interrupted weekend...but at what cost! Good Job and stand your ground.

First off, I am a woman and I can see what your saying actually right through you.
Not to be mean but their dad and his new girlfriend want time with them as well, which means they don't need you bothering them on HIS time that is why he has visitaions rights in other words you not to call and harass their family at any given time while they are there. Second the CS thing (Child support thing) and behind in Child support so...every person paying in the world is behind why? because by the time it gets to court they are already behind and can never catch up. The kids should go see their dad and YOU should encourage them, say one thing bad to the judge about their dad and I can almost bet the judge will look down on you, Judges hate it they don't care about the parents they care about the kids.. And Dad has every right to take their phones away from them till they leave their house, he IS the dad. sorry to be harsh but thats life

Tell your children to be very honest when talking to the judge. Their father and his girlfriend think alike and that's not a good thing. Ask to speak to the judge too and voice your concerns.

dad and gf definitely sound like their hiding something, your kids have the right to take their cells with them to the house, maybe try to talk with your kids, and ask them what usually goes on at their dad's house.

I think Gina is right, so i wont repeat what she typed. Just to add, if you tried to say something about this in court, it will look bad on you with the judge....
