I hope it works out for you Michelle...I hate stories like this. :-(

ahhh... I wonder if that's the difference. I can see how there would be different rules for a convicted felon. That must be tough for your child..

one day - DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT!
Have dates and times of every incident. get as much in print as possible...
you simply can not have too much documentation.. also be prepared for her to get a lawyer at the last minute, which is going to make it tough for you, since you are going to know all the court procedures as well (assuming neither of you have a legal background)

I talk to my 4yo daughter at least once a day, usually twice. My ex and I have shared parenting (I have her 4 days a week), and I couldn't imagine going a day without speaking to my child. It's always best for the child to have as much involvement as possible with their parents. They need to know that no matter whether or not their parents are together, that both parents love and miss them equally.

I have been. I have NO legal background other then dealing with all this crap for the last 4yrs. We filed a blank motion for medical treatment mom has been denying. DD not in any kind of emidiant danger. It's the long term we are trying to address. 1 more month till the hearing. I hope my nerves can make it. Does anyone know anything about defamation?

Defamation? How does that come into play for your family? From what I understand, defamation is tough. It'd have to be public and you'd have to prove actual harm, actual malice, etc...

Sounds to me like you would have a better chance at going toward parental alienation rather than defamation....but even PA would be a tough one to prove.

I'm sorry if I've missed anything, I haven't read the whole thread, but I wanted to put my point in. My daughter is 7 and allowed to ring her father whenever she wants. I don't believe that its fair to say to your child you can only ring your other parent twice a week, thats ridiculous! K speaks to her Dad every day at least once. I hope things work out ok for you
