Is there a way to make communication between BM and DH only via letter or email?

DH is sick of her calling or texting all the time and wants to do all communication with her via either letter or email so that we can have everything documented. Is there a way to request this legally through court?

Maybe someone here can help!

Where do I need to begin the process of contempt of court? HB ex is suppoose to pay 50% of uncovered health costs within 30 days of recieving a bill. She has not done that. This is not the first time. We have allowed her to slide by several times. This is it. I can't get any response from Att. Gen. about anything. Maybe I'm being petty, she only owes $15 but that is not the point in my opinion. The last time it was $80 and it took her 3 months to pay. The order states that if it's not paid in the alloted time she has to reimburse the whole amount. What do you think?

Mixed Feelings

I don't know how I feel about this. BM asked DH if we'd be willing to take SSons an additional 2 nights a month. BM is planning on working 2 extra nights a month. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but she doesn't know which nights it will be. It wouldn't affect CS, we have them 6 over-nights a month now, and 2 evenings a month for dinner.

I just don't know how I feel about the extra running across town, she's about 30 minutes away - one way. SSons are in scouts, sports and CCD. It will be a lot of driving.

Family portraits

Does anyone else feel like they aren’t supposed to take family pictures without the step-child(ren)? We have recently took some family pictures without my step-son being here, and while I don’t want him to feel left out, I also want pictures with just my family that lives in my house on a daily basis (step-son is out of state and is only here in the summer)...how do other people handle this?

OMG I can't believe it...Just read her counter-suit myself...

I just read the counter-suit that BM responded with myself and I can't believe it - she's suing HIM for full custody!! WHAT?! BF didn't realize this when he read it and I was just going off of what he told me with my previous blog entry. I can't believe this. You know what her grounds are? She says that BF is in contempt because he doesn't pay her child support and that he takes SS to parties where drugs and alcohol are consumed in front of SS! I'd like to see her proof of that!

Update--step challenges, job loss, etc

Greetings,
Thank you Dawn for getting the site back up, it's good to check in with so many I wondered about!

In my arena, no job prospects as of yet. My days have been actually pretty good, working on art, reading, visiting with friends, it's actually nice except for the financial stress.

BM has been calling us ALL weekend since she got this letter from us

This letter is in regards to your numerous text messages and voicemails requesting a number of documents. As I have stated before these are all documents that you as SS’s mother can obtain on your own or should already have in your possession.
