Withholding children contact


California. My wife and I are separated and live apart. We are finalizing our divorce documents and, of course, have some disagreements. She has physical custody of our children and is so upset that she has not allowed my children and I to have any contact - phone, in person, email, etc. This is coming up on two weeks now. My children and I have a great relationship and they need me as much as I need them. They are 11. Is there anything I can do or am I just subject to the whims of my wife?

Unless there is a restraining order against you or a court order for you to stay away, knock on the door and say hello kids.

But it would be more fun to just walk in and yell "Daddy's home!"

Maybe daddy should surprise them, and pick them up from school to go out for a Fish Fry dinner tonight? (then call mom and let her know they will be dropped off at nine)
