Chicago, IL asked in Criminal Law, Divorce, Family Law and Child Custody for Illinois

Q: Is my ex breaking my OP?

I have an OP against my ex spouse. We have a child together. He only gets to talk to him on talking parents. He told my child that he can’t talk to him again on the required day and to tell me that I should allow him to let him talk to him at another time. Is he breaking my OP by directing my son to discuss with me. I have told him multiple times that we have to follow the court order and talk at the designated times.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: I don't know what talking parents is. But I don't believe that having child visitation by phone or explaining how yo facilitate it should be an op violation. That provision is more about using a 3rd party to send messages to you like are you willing to try to reconcile, etc.
