What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

I would appreciate a straight answer for this. In the court order it states that both parents are allowed communication with the child without parental interference in reasonable hours. It doesn't specifically state what days of week or what time, just that it is to be allowed.

My ex only has my boyfriends cell phone # and my home phone. He is continually bothering my boyfriend's phone asking when well be home for him to talk to my son. My boyfriend works alot so he gets in trouble with these constant bothering. My ex will call his cell phone every day and ask to speak to my son when he knows my boyfriend is at work. Finally my boyfirend had to tell him to stop bothering him and to just call the home phone. Now he is constantly bothering the home phone that we want to call for harrassment charges. Every time he calls, my son is busy doing homework or busy with chores so he is unable to talk. Yes we have said that my son will call back but by that time it's too late. Now he is threatening contempt. Can i be in contempt for my son being to busy during the times he calls?

Also, many times when we exchange, we will tell my ex that my son needs to call me. Finally after waiting i end up having to text my ex asking why my son hasnt called. he tells me because my son is busy playing or doesnt want to. Can i get him in contempt as well?

Grow up and schedule a time for the child to talk to the parent. Homework and chores can be interrupted for a phone call. If your parent called while you were folding laundry, would you let it go to voice mail?

Yes, you can be found in contempt for not facilitating court ordered communication. Stop using your child as a weapon.

I want to know what would happen if we gave her a straight answer to her question, but it wasn't the one she wanted to hear. Would she go away and stay away then? Or only if we give her the answer she wants?

When her kid gets older and starts really understanding what has been going on, he is going to hate his mother sooooooo much. She's one of those mothers that will never hear from her son when he reaches adulthood and who will never know her grandchildren. It will serve her right. 20 years from now she'll be posting on the grandparents rights section wanting to know how she can sue her son to force him to let her visit with his kids.

All i want to know is the answer to my question. Can i get him in contempt if he doesnt make time for my son to call me during his weekends? I have given him many notices that my son needs to call me before the exchange and he has yet to do so. If he wants to get me in contempt i wil do the same
 
I only saw one question. So, if I answer your question of whether or not you can find him in contempt, you'll go away?
Questions:

1. Can i get him for contempt if he doesnt make my son call me after warnings during his weekend visits?

2. Can he find me in contempt if I answer the calls he makes but have to continually remind him my sons too busy during the times he calls, and to quit calling/ texting my boyfiriends phone?

Why don't you quit playing games, because THAT is all you are doing.

Yes, he can have a JUDGE find you in contempt for thwarting his contact. He talks to dad and gets back to what he was doing. Easy Peasy. If you weren't so difficult, you might be able to talk to your son on the weekends.

Answer to both is no. Only a judge can find the other party in contempt.

Goodbye.
