My husband and his ex had phone visitation set up for every Sunday at 7:30, beginning three weeks ago (the kids live in another state). Every week since this has been set up, there has been problems. The first week, son calls earlier and leaves a message that he may not be home at call time-no explanation, but he ended up walking in the door just at the time of the call. The second week, their mother calls and says the kids will be out of town at call time-so, my husband tells her he will call the following night and does get to talk to both children.
Last week, my husband calls and is told daughter is not there-no explanation, but he does talk to son.
This phone visitation was set up by mediator, husband and ex-but nothing is in writing yet-court date is coming soon so it will be in writing then.
My question is, just how enforcable is this phone visitation? We are sure the ex is behind all problems, even though they are really not that serious-in regards to phone calls-and we are sure she listens in. I am sure the mediator may have written this agreement down somewhere-should we contact mediator and let her know about constant problems with phone visitation?
Also, this is a little long but just found out some information about ex and her putting daughter in middle of something-
Ex calls last Jan. and tell us daughter is failing science (7th grade)-asks us to help with tutor. Ex sounds desperate and claims the school never told her daughter was failing (I found that hard to believe as I am a teacher)-we ended up sending her a 60$ money order to pay for one weeks of tutoring-amazingly enough-daughter tells us she's making A's about 2 weeks later. I felt this was all a scam on the ex's part-she even gave us a direct phone number of the tutor, but I feel this was probably a friend of hers. The thing is, the principal sent us report cards-daughter made a C last semester and a B-, this past semester!
Would this be something worth bringing to court when we go at end of month for custody/visitation change? The reason why the ex would do this is complicated, but my problem with all of this is that she put her daughter up to lying, once again.
My husband also has an agreement to take both kids to Disneyland if they make good grades this year-meaning A's and B's-daughter tells my husband she is getting A's and B's-we get report card and she only has one A, couple B's, C and failing Lit-although this is between father and daughter, I feel her lying is a direct result of being raised by a lyer-is this little thing worth mentioning in court, too? If we get the kids this summer, as far as I'm concerned, daughter does not get to go to Disneyland for failing and lying.
Thanks for any ideas.
