My exhusband had my 3 kids at my middle child's flag football game this weekend on his weekend visitation. He told my kids that they were not allowed to talk to me because it was his time with them. My oldest son was the only one who followed this rule throughout the course of the game. Both my youngest and middle children waited about 15 minutes and than were both talking to me, and going back and forth between me and my ex. When they came home that night, I told my oldest that him not even saying hi hurt my feelings and asked why he did not say hi when they walked by, and he told me what his father told him.
I have stopped in stores while the kids talked to their father on my time and did not in any way interfere, even when I was in a hurry. What I want to know, is if this violates our divorce decree. It says that neither party is to in any way to cause the children to have bad feeling toward the other party, and that both of us are granted unlimited phone calls or visits with the children regardless of who has them at the time. I hold primary custody, he has visitation rights, and NO, I was not trying to get the kids to sit with me, all I wanted was to say hi as they walked by. The other two came over on their own to talk to me, (the middle son during half time because he was playing)
Also, my daughter (the youngest) does not always want to go with her father on his weekends. I have tried to get them all to tell me why, but I get "I don't Knows" all the way around. I do know that my ex's girlfriend argues with my daughter a lot and tells her that her mother "needs to do this" and her mother "needs to do that" and her mother "is nothing but a b-word" (her newest one). My daughter does not just say these things, she says "Why does C..... say you need to or say you are a B?"
What do I need to do? Can I take him back to court and have his visitation limited?
