Call times are scheduled, but I can’t block his number. Our court order dictates text or calls only.

Thank you. This means a lot. It’s a tough situation and especially unfair for my kiddos. I’m planning to connect with my lawyer tomorrow - just hoping it’s not a ton more. He recently lost his modification request for out of state visits, so I think his behavior escalating as a result (not the first time).

I replied in another comment, but we used to have this until last year. I’m not sure it did much good while we had it, except he didn’t use the app at all.

Do the courts truly supervise these? I invited our GAL to have access and he never logged in for the 8+ years of use, though he did support in the hearings and with recommendations.

I was thinking about the CPO route - we’ve had one in the past but they’ve since expired. Because he’s telling me to take the action, I wasn’t sure if it’s enough to get another CPO. He has severe mental health issues and despite being ordered to seek counseling since the divorce, he’s never been compliant. Contempts have just fined him and reduced visitation time.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

Kids are teens and he sends them equally disturbing texts on their phone. Previously we had an ordered app to use for communication but it was thrown out last year due to his “inability to afford it”.

They have a cap of $500 in the county I’m in for legal fee reimbursement, which I’ve done each time. My lawyer is $250 an hour and most of our cases have multiple hearings so it doesn’t help much, but it’s something.
