Stone Mountain, GA asked in Communications Law, Divorce, Family Law and Child Custody for Georgia

Q: Any advice on trying to communicate with my kids dad about the kids? He doesn’t want to talk to the kids or let the kids

Visit. Sometimes block us from calling. But as the primary parent I’m told I should always keep communication open to him if he chose to talk to the kids. But how can that go both ways. Seems double standard. Would like if he kept constant communication with kids since they ask about their dad.

A: I'm sorry you are experiencing this. You can't force him to have communication. But by leaving the door open and means for him to do so then you are doing your part. Maybe in time he will come around and want to communicate with the kids and you. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
