What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
First...
My ex has fled from the state in order to run from several warrants including a Felony Grand Jury Indictment. He actually fled the day he missed court and the warrant was issued.
He also has not talked to the kids in months. I do not let my youngest answer her phone when it is a blocked number or a private number for safety, she is 15. This way I keep tabs on who she is talking and texting. I told her father that she cannot answer when calls are blocked or private, so he cannot talk to her on her phone. He can, however call my phone from a blocked or private number. I even told him if he wanted to set up a time frame for him to call her so there was no need for me to answer, only to hand it to her, that it was fine.
He is running from the law and this is an element of his hiding. He is telling others that I will not allow him to speak to DD at all, when in fact he is just afraid I will track him down if he calls my phone. I my opinion he has a choice in that he can either call my phone, use a phonecard which will use a phonecard number, or he can choose to call from a listed number if he would like to talk to her. I am making her available, he is choosing not to call.
He is telling people to get the message to DD to let her know that I wont allow him to call. That I am actually preventing contact with her.
The decree spells out visitation times, which he has not exercised since August 2011. It says nothing about phone contact at all. He is threatening that he will take me to court for not allowing contact. I doubt it because he will be arrested if he shows up.
Second...
As mentioned above, he is currently running from the law. He is unable to be contacted at all, and his parents have also changed their numbers. He is court ordered to provide me with an address, he is NOT going to do that. I have full physical custody and we share legal custody. Our daughter is wanting to go on a mission trip, and needs a passport, which I cant get with shared legal. She also needs braces and I am supposed to share major medical decisions with him. He is intentionally unavailable to make these decisions.
If I presented the idea of changing custody to me having sole legal custody (the only item that would need changing) would I have a chance in court? I can have him served by substitute service at his parents home because it is the address he has registered with the court, and the post office has told the AG's office that he receives mail there.
I am not wanting to change anything else, visitation etc.
