Q: will the court address if all attempts at communicating with my sons father are blocked by his significant other?
For the last year I joint decisions or discussions of any issues because if I call she answers, if I text she answers, or they don’t answer or reply. Issues over forced hair cuts, child care, issues my son has at their home nothing can ever be addressed I’m always told by her to leave him alone. I filed for sole custody and my lawyer said the court wouldn’t address it because it’s “micromanaging” our communication. I can’t conparent if I can’t speak to the other parent. Will the courts really not address this?
A: Child care is a legitimate issue to discuss as co-parents, whereas haircuts are not. Co-parenting is just one of the factors in determining best interest of the child. Also, you need to show that circumstances have significatnly changed since custody was last determined.
