What is the name of your state? California
My ex husband was awarded custody of our 6 year old daugter mainly because I wanted to relocate to another state. He is now refusing to let her call me on the telephone and only lets me talk to her every 3 to 4 days. When I do get to speak with her, he is always in the same room and prompts her to relay messages to me. He and I hardly speak to each other and relay messages to and from each other via voice mails because he refuses to be civil to me. During our marriage, he was always very angry and negative infront of the children, he would degrade his other ex wife horribly in front of their daughter and still does. He now carries this on with our daughter. This causes them grief and stress. They don't want to "get in trouble with thier daddy" so they go along with his complaining and demeanor. What can I do to determine if this is mental abuse on the children to possibly help me change the custody outcome? I am just the opposite, I encourage all visitation, communication and provide all transportation when visitation is at hand.
