What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? fl
I agreed to allow my x to move with the kids. Big mistake I know. In our court order we have what is called shared parenting. She is the residental parent I am secondary. In our parenting agreement we have the standard shared parenting agreement but the last page there is an addendum. In that addendum I agreed she could move with the kids and she agreed that I could have webcam access.
The webcam portion states "The mother agrees to allow the Father web cam acccess with the children. Web cam access will be goverened by telephonic access rules."
The telephonic rules are stated in the court order as follows"
"Each parent had the right to contact the children at the residence of the other party at a reasonable time and reasonable duration. Reasonable time are between 8am-8pm and 1x per day for up to 30 minutes. Any missed calls shall be returned promptly"
Now, she lets the kids talk to me on the phone or had them call me back, but VERY rarely had them on webcam. There is always one excuse or another.
I filed contempt. Her attorney now argues that the webcam/phone is an either or. She says that if I spoke with the kids for 30 minutes that day I dont have to have webcam as well. That webcam time and phone time are under the same provision. So therefore if I am talking to the kids on the phone as they are on their way somewhere and cant be at home that my x has abided by the agreement.
I disagree I interpret the agreement that I can to speak on the phone and see them on web both for 30 minutes.
The kids are 9 and 12.
Who is right?
