What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Mom usually called the kids every other day, sometimes it was 2-3 days before she called them. Now that husband has filed for perm. custody (has temp. custody now) and now that a new order was filed for her summer visitation she has gone bonkers.
The new order states that "both parties shall have responsible telephone communications with the children yada yada yada"
She is really taking that to heart. She has been calling 3-4 times a day. Today she called this morning and talked with them, then she called tonight and talked with them again.. We all were outside in the pool (well I was just watching --with my broken foot !!)after she called tonight and in the 45 minutes we were outside, she left 3 messages !!!! We didn't realize it until after the kids were aleady in bed. She called again after they were in bed and husband answers. She tells him "I didn't get a reply to my messages". I believe she is just digging to get him on contempt or something or to say he's not letting her talk to the kids. Or she is trying to prove that she calls her kids 50 times a day therefore, she should have custody ?????????????????
What is the best way to handle this ? Talking to her about it is pretty much out of the question - she is most unreasonable. I mean husband can talk to her but it wouldn't do any good. She would yell and cuss him out. We can leave the ringer off but then she would say no one is returning her messages. Any one have any ideas on the best way to handle this ?? It is getting ridiculous.
