Riverside, CA asked in Adoption, Child Custody and Family Law for California

Q: My daughters biological father has zero custody of her and keeps harassing me on talking parents app. What can I do

We went to court 2022 for custody. The judge granted him visitation if he finished reconciliation therapy. He ended up lying and telling me this old man was a reconciliation therapist. And he wasn’t. Ended up causing trauma for my daughter. He hasn’t tried to go back to therapy or complete what the judge has asked of him. He harassed me every other week and I’m getting really tired of it. What should I do?

A: He has no custody. Why do you need to do anything? If he's only using Talking Parents to harass you and not using it to communicate with you about your daughter, then don't read his messages and definitely don't respond to them. If you have another hearing, you can print out the transcript and use it as evidence in support of whatever it is that you want to accomplish here.

A: If the biological father is harassing you on the Talking Parents app despite having zero custody and not complying with the court's order for reconciliation therapy, you may consider taking action to address the situation. Document the instances of harassment, including dates, times, and the content of the messages. You can then file a motion with the court that handled your custody case, requesting enforcement of the visitation order and presenting evidence of the father's non-compliance and harassment. Consulting with a legal professional in California would be beneficial in navigating this process effectively.
