Father's Rights: Stay In Touch With Your Kids

Even if your parenting time with your children is being denied by your ex, you can - and must - stayin touch with your children.  The remedy for denial of parenting time, by the way, is some form of petition to hold her in contempt - and sometimes, judges even do this.

But how do you stay in contact with your children if you cannot see them?  How can you interact with them if you are being denied the oppoorutnity to be face-to-face with them?

Here are some ideas:
  • give your child a "restricted use" cell phone.  Some cell phones are designed to accept only calls from specific phone numbers (like yours) or to be able to call only 2 or 3 phone numbers (like yours, mom's and 9-1-1).
  • text messages can be used, especially where mom denies use of the phone.
  • have email addresses or websites that only you and your children use.
  • have lunch with them at school.
  • be at practices, rehearsals, field trips, etc.
The important thing here is to maintain that point of contact with your children, so that they know that you love them and want to be in their lives.

Father's Rights: What Are They?

If you've ever had one of those "was the judge SLEEPING?" kind of orders, after a hearing, you probably begin to wonder what these "father's rights" are.

Guess what? There are no father's rights.
There are no mother's rights.
There ARE children's rights: the right to receive child support (through mom's bank account, of course).

Oh - there's also the right for children to visit their non-custodial father, to receive his love and concern, to have his viewpoint and input into how they are raised.  It's a right.

It's also pretty regularly ignored by courts - UNLESS you get it in front of the judge the right way.
It doesn't mean the judge won't sleep through your hearing.  It just makes it more difficult.
