What to do about my daughter’s mother’s constant phone calls during her visitaion weekends with me?
My daughter’s mother and I share custody of our 6 year old daughter but she is the primary caregiver. Visitation has already been established. She will call my daughter several times a day. Before she would call my phone but since I began ignoring her calls, she bought my daughter a phone. She calls, like I mentioned before, several times and sometimes even tells her stuff like I miss you so much and asks her “are you bored, do you want to come home?” Or she will tell her all the fun things they are doing and then my daughter will turn around and tell me she wants to go home. This past weekend I turned the ringer off. Is there anything I can legally do about this?

If you have an existing court order regarding custody and visitation, depending on what it states, you may be able to file for contempt. If it does not have a clause in the existing order that will allow you to file for contempt or enforcement, you may need to seek advice from an attorney to see if you can file for a modification of the existing order to include a clause that will prevent the mother from constantly calling your daughter during your visitation with her. It will all depend on what your existing court order states.
