Q: What can a father do whose kids mother(narcissist) is blocking all communications between kids
Kids want to communicate with father and vise versa but mother is stopping it and making up stories to kids and to the father on why they can’t communicate for her own selfish needs. She also threatens the grandmother(dads mom) if she lets the dad talk to the kids when they are over grandmas house that grandma won’t be able to see them either. The Mom and Dad have shared custody. Since the divorce the mom has remarried and she is trying to get rid of the loving bio father completely for no good reason. When he loves his kids, wants to be a part of their lives. But that woman keeps claiming that the kids would be better off without that side of the family and has told the dads mom that. How can she claim that the father abandoned the kids if she’s the one trying to keep the kids from him? She lies, manipulates.
A: Most Decrees of Custody or Decrees of Divorce, include language which addresses "alienation of affection" if not in those exact words. Some decrees talk about "communication" between the parents and children and forbid the parents from talking bad about the other parent. If you can record the mother's statements to the kids, you can file for a modification of custody, based on poor, co-parenting on the part of the mother.
