There is nothing in the court order saying anyone gets phone calls on the other parent's time. My husband has primary custody and BM gets visitation. The parenting agreement was just redone in January so it cannot be modified for another 2 years. BM insists on calling whenever she feels like it and demands that my husband and I never go anywhere with the kids so that we are always home in case she calls.

We got a phone for the house that only accepts calls, does not call out. BM kept calling and hanging up when I would answer and said I was hanging up on her. We got an answering machine that automatically picks up on the 3rd ring. Tonight BM called at 7:30pm and the youngest girl didn't get to the phone in time because BM just said, "I'll call back later" and hung up. The youngest girl sat with the phone next to her for the last hour, waiting, and BM never called back. But at 8:27pm sent a very long message on Our Family Wizard saying:

"I again this evening called your home phone as I always do at 7:30p.m. I left a message on the machine for the kids letting them know that I would be calling back. I called again at 7:45 pm and the phone rang at least 15 times; no one picked up, nor did the answering machine. You nor AMIWICKED has the right to keep me from speaking to our children or has the right to dictate when I speak to them. I will gladly solve this issue by going back to court and suing you for full custody of our children as well as child support if the lack of JOINT PARENTING cooperation continues. Our kids deserve only the best. BM"

My husband sent back:

"BM,
SD heard your voicemail and got to the phone too late to pick it up. SD was sitting right next to the phone waiting for you to call back since then and it did not ring."

BM responded:

"If that is true then why did you not send me a message letting me know that kids were home and waiting for my call? I have my phone records ready for the judge. I'm not hiding anything. I called back at 745 pm. Why did your machine not pick up? You do not allow the kids to answer the phone after all. You have denied getting my phone calls multiple times now and I have record of all of that. You are denying me the right to a speak to our children and they the right to speak to me; their mother.

BM"

BM why do you keep making something out of nothing?

BM gets pissed that the phone wasn't answered and she makes up crap??? How is the daughter going to feel? She was the one holding the phone and BM is going to call her a liar that the phone never rang???
