Dropped my kids off...

Bradybunchmom's picture

With their dad Monday. We have in our parenting plan that we can both call any day before 7 depending on whos house it is. I didn't call Monday or Tuesday to allow them to settle, but I called 3 times wednesay, 3 on thursday and twice today and no answer.

I am not trying to be annoying but the history of this is that he has already refused to return one child after visitation before until i threatend with police, and then right before I dropped them off he was threatening to go to court and saying he wasn't going to give them back...

i still had to drop them off, its his time with them, I did however make him sign what day I was supposed to pick them up so he couldn't try and say I was early or something stupid like that.

At what point can he get into trouble for not taking my calls? He is allowed to call my house any day before 7 and I never refuse to pick up. He just never calls.

This is so stressful for me and I don't expect him to be at my beck and call just because the kids are there, but a call back would be nice, and since we haven't talked since he threatened to go to court and not give them back other than at the exchange I am nervous. Is there anything I can do, should I hold off getting worried just yet or should I be doing something?

I would call your lawyer and get advice since he has threatened it before.

Then I would go get a cell phone for you to use before their next visit. Just a throw away one for the kids to hold onto. It will give you some peace of mind.

Keep us informed..

I guess I wonder why its in the parenting plan at all if theres no garantee that I get to call.

No it is not that I don't want them to visit, he has them for 6.5 weeks, I gave him and extra 2.5 weeks because I was being nice. The custody agreement gives him 4. I just want him to let me chat with them like I let him chat with them any time he calls is all.

I know he is playing head games wth me, this whole custody case has been about screwing with me not about doing right by the kids, and I know him enough to know its entirely possible he won't return them. There was already twice he kept them from me but caved when I said I would get the cops.

In my state the police woouldnt do anything until after he refuses to return them and his time with them is up. I would make sure to get copies of your phone bill showing that you called but no one answered, and make records.

May I ask how often he see's them? If its not often and regular that could be upsetting to him.
