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.

1 - I don't know where to begin, so your blog was first and I hope someone can help me.I am in an impossible situaton.I have never been married to my childs mother and she has custody.We have never gone through legal proceedings and this is where I am today.My ex constantly gets kicked out of her homes, apartments, etc.Basically wherever she is staying.Because she has my child with her I feel it's my responsibility to provide housing for her when this occasion occurs which is getting to be more often than not.My fiance says its not my responsibilty to care for her mother just my daughter.But if I let her stay on the streets or in hotels, then I let my child stay on the streets and in hotels.I need a right now solution.My fiance says take her to court, but that scenario is not a right now scenario.Any advice? (Comment this)

2 - <check with a local attorney>
Your fiancee is right. Your ex is a big girl, who can take care of herself - but your daughter isn't. If your ex is unstable, that's her problem. But your daughter shouldn't suffer - or be exposed to your ex moving in with dangerous men.
In many states, you have to have the court declare you to be "dad," even if your name is on the birth certificate. Get your paternity declared, and then ask for custody of your daughter. Get an attorney who believes you should have custody - and if that's not the first attorney you talk to -> KEEP LOOKING!
Good luck. I hope things work out for you and your daughter. (Comment this)
