Ok....I'm getting that I can't press any legal charges....let's change it to family court. Could I get contempt charges for going against our divoce agreement. That states that our conversations are open between our children and that there is no supervision on our calls.

That is NOT what your court order says.

Now, if you'd like an opinion on the order, come back with EXACTLY word for word what it says as to phone calls and/or 'contact'.

Wow!!! I am just so frustrated!!! I have been dealing with this woman for 13 years**************... she is manipulative, conniving and just a down right

Could I go and make a report on this just to make her shake in her boots for awhile??

you do, of course, have the option of getting you and your daughter cell phones....eliminate the ability to record the calls

this should be your course of action

Got my agreement papers....they say " We agree that our children should have open access to both parents at all times and that both parents should have open access to our children at all times."

Instead of assuming everyone who answers you knows what they are talking about, why do you not answer the question put to you.

Either that, or accept your limited answers as gospel.

Then that is completely different than what you said eariler and you have no course of action against the stepmother as she is doing nothing to hinder your 'access'.

I'm sorry...I'm just so irritated.

I'm sorry...I'm just so irritated.

Now that you're calmed a bit, here is what you CAN do.

Write her a Certified (RRR) letter stipulating that you know that she is recording the conversations between you and your daughter WITHOUT legal standing as a third-party to such recording rights or implied consent from either party to the conversations.

Inform her that the practice is to stop immediately upon receipt of the enclosed letter and any failure to do so will result in civil suits by both yourself AND your daughter (and stress the point that the suits will be filed separately) for the maximum recovery allowed under the Wisconsin statute which is $100 for each day of violation or $1,000, along with punitive damages, litigation costs and attorney fees.

Then let it drop.

Ok....Thank you very much!!!!

One last thing.....since my daughter is there the majority of the time, what do I tell my daughter- to just ignore her if she says anything to her after I write this letter? Given past experience, this woman is going to badger my daughter.

Well I don't know where you get the idea from this that the other parent isn't allowed to listen in on the calls. That statement says no such thing.

Your daughter should simply answer that what transpires between the two of you has no bearing on her and she wants to be kept out of it.
