Shared email accounts
Forums:
My DH and BM are not to communicate through third parties, but we have a joint family email account that my DH uses to correspond with her, our kids teachers, etc. Do you all think this is this a violation?
He only has it because they have a time limit they have to respond to each other and he doesn't have email on his phone. I just let him know when she emails and he goes somewhere, signs in, and responds. They have a very high conflict relationship and communicate via email only so we don't want to do anything that would make her file contempt.

He's still the one doing the
He's still the one doing the actual communicating with her. You're fine.
If the emails are actually
If the emails are actually between BM and DH, then it isn't 3rd party. It is considered electronic communication, unless it is stated somewhere the electronic communication is forbidden and HE is the one emailing her, it shouldn't be an issue at all.
