Now the asshole is denying me visitation and calls

deleted_user

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about I posted yesterday how my ex is trying to block me from having access to my daughter's school and Pioneer group.

I wrote him an email last night criticizing the some of the ways he is raising my daughter. He wrote me back this morning saying that I am sick and that he is suspending further visitation and phone calls because he thinks I am having a manic episode and that he required documentation from my doctor that I am well. He has done this in the past and I am getting really sick of it. I have contacted my lawyer to see if anything can be done about this abuse of his power over me. I think this is all stemming from the fact that I denied his request to take my daughter to the Congo for 11 months.

I am still waiting to hear if the school will let me see my daughter's teacher in an parent-teacher interview. The principal has to go to the superintendant to see what the boards policy is on such matters. She told me that they don't want to get into a custody battle.

I am sooooo pissed off right now please excuse me if I tell people to fuck off on this board.

Be careful and watchful. If he has sole custody of your daughter he can request and get your name taken off the school files of her. This would mean you couldnt pick her up from school or look at her records. or go into her class room.

no we have joint custody (whatever that means) so I can have access to her files it's just the parent-teacher interview that we are having a problem with right now or were having a problem with. Now I can't even talk to my daughter on the phone because he thinks I'm nuts because I told him not to make fun of her maturing body and to pack a few more clothes for her on the weekends when she visits. Oh yeah I told them not to involve her in the problems that they are having with his other ex and child. Apparently Sam knows that all they do is feed Branen McDonalds and that he should be old enough(age 6) to decide where he goes for Xmas.

If you have joint custody, then he can't do that. Unless your divorce papers say you have to prove sanity with a dr's note, then he's in contempt of court. Talk to your atty.

If you have court ordered visitation, he should not be able to change this on his own. It should have to go thru the courts. But unfortunately he has her and can cause you to have to get it back into court and if he brings up the bp card etc you will have to be ready with dr. reports stating you are stable enough to have your child for visits and go to parent teacher meetings. Most people set two times for meetings when split up so there is no bickering of parents. If you do this and come across as a stable and loving parent it also gives you a witness as to your ability as a parent.

I don't think he can do that without a court order. He needs to motion and you both stand before the judge and the judge is the one who can request a doctors note if he sees fit. You can now moton first and tell the judge he's keeping your daughter from you. The courts don't like that one bit.

CAM76 ...so he can't just arbitraily decide when I am sane enough to see my daughter? It has to be court ordered? Do you know if this is true in Canada. I am so fed up with his abuse.

You are the mom...you have rights, don't forget that.

Is there any chance what so ever you two can work out your differences for the sake of the girl. The mere attempt would make you look good in the eyes of the court should it ever go that far.

I feel for you, this is rough!

Artemis I thought you said you have a lawyer and he advised you not to go to detox right now because it wouldn't look good. I hope you weren't drinking when you emailed. Call your lawyer and put down the bottle!!!

#7 and #10 I sure hope you are right. It seems crazy to me that he can request a doctors not anytime he feels like just because I criticize the way he is raising my daughter. Like I said this has happened before and it is just rediculous that I should be held accountable to him for something I said. He is not an expert and he is not a judge. How dare he try to decide that I am well enough to see my daughter. That is up to the courts to decide not him.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
