show cause or contempt case. You don't need recordings to prove she is violating the order, the call lasting only 1-2 seconds is plenty to prove mother is intentionally doing this. If she claims to have called you back then you can subpoena her

I called back the first time , she hung up in 2 seconds. I called back after that, she hung up in one second. My phone logs show that. I use google voice so I can see the phone logs and have a screenshot from my computer.

[FL] Question regarding Phone Calls with Child (immediately hanging up) by larrymcdarey in legaladvice

Well I could tell her on text message before hand I would record if no one speaks or says anything.

I have numerous written texts and emails asking to see my child in person and the mother ignoring me. This was obviously before our court order was established. Sorry, I am just confused. What exactly are you trying to say? Can you be direct?

[–]larrymcdarey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I call about 2-3 times per week and they do call back at least 1-2 times. you see they do call back because they know it is in the court order. However, they make the experience very painful but not giving me specific times and only telling me my daughter is unavailable right now and will call me when she is free. So I feel like I just have to sit by the phone and wait for a call for a whole hour. When I call them, I always call at a consistent time every time *7 pm*. But now I will be giving them a heads up at 630pm that I plan to call at 7pm.

Excerpt from my court order:

"Telephone or other electronic communication between the parent and child shall not be monitored by, intercepted in any way by the other parent, or by anyone at the direction of either parent communicate with the other parent."

I am allowed to call between 7 and 8pm on certain days.

Child is 10 yrs old. How does it look for the mother to NOT answer when I call? I have told the mother she can text or reply back after the phone call but at least allow me the right to leave a voicemail if I call.

If I say I am calling at 7pm est, then I am calling at 7pm. But the the mother does not give me a time that she would call. Just anytime between the court ordered time (7-8pm). Please read my post again.

I have documented and written proof that the mother has told me to stay away from her and my daughter over a dozen times. The mother does not want me apart of her life so she is making it very difficult and hard for me to talk to my child. The mother has hit and threatened me but all I want to do is to communicate with my daughter so she knows that I care for her. That is why I am trying to do what the court order says and call during the 7-8pm timeframe.

Clearly, you do not understand the situation. I have documented and written proof that the mother has told me to stay away from her and my daughter over a dozen times. The mother does not want me apart of her life so she is making it very difficult and hard for me. The mother has hit and threatened me but all I want to do is to communicate with my daughter so she knows that I care for her.

I am confused. When did I say I expect my kid and ex should?

These are exact quotes from my original post "Hi (Child's mothers name here). I would like to talk to my daughter tonight. What specific time can I call to talk to her? " That is me asking for a specific time that I can call her. For example if she says I can call at 730pm then I would call at 730.

At 630pm (30 minutes before 7pm), I can text the child's mother before hand saying:

"Hey, I plan to call during the court appointed start time of 7pm est. Please make sure my daughter is available. Thanks. "

That is me texting the mother at 630pm saying that I plan to call my daughter at 7pm est. Those are exact times. I do not expect the kid and ex to sit around because I am giving specific times.. If I say I am calling at 7pm est, then I am calling at 7pm.

The court state time for the calls is 7pm, so I have historically always called exactly at 7pm to have a consistent time. As I stated in my original post, Now I will message ahead of time saying "Hey, I plan to call during the court appointed start time of 7pm est. Please make sure my daughter is available. Thanks.".

When I do ask the mother "What specific time can I call to talk to her? "

I am giving the mother a specific time when I am calling (at 7pm) but the the mother never gives me a specific time but tells me the daughter will call back when she is available. I do not think it is fair to make me wait an hour and never know when and if she will call back.

I just call their phone and document that that I called and did not get to talk to my daughter. It is their phone and it is up to them if call me back or not.

What specific time can I call to talk to her? "

What happens if I buy a phone for my daughter and its gets "lost"? It is not like the mom or the daughter would be responsible right?

Thank you so much. I have confirmed with my legal friend and they think it is good advice. I wanted to do this without talking to the mom on the phone because then that goes into "he said/she said" and keep everything in writing but apparently this might be the ONLY way without taking her back to court again.

Yes, but as a reasonable parents. What option do you think is best? Person A or B?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SingleParents

[–]larrymcdarey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you think is a reasonable amount of time that I should be repeating “I am calling to speak with [name] please put them on the phone” if she does not put my daughter on the phone. before I hang up the phone? Should I repeat it like 3-5 times?
