[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did the noncustodial parent do this?[/quote]
OP here:
Because the kids use it to contact me while at their house. They were first informed they were not allowed to text or message me. Same parent is currently trying to have a section that says ‘custodial parent will not contact children during noncustodial parents time unless there is an emergency. ‘ inserted into current order.

FWIW, I rarely call the kids while they are at the other house, I don’t want to interfere with the others parenting time.

Apparently kids were informed they would be punished if they unblock me. I’m not going to push it, or unblock myself. [b]It’s petty and stupid, and unfortunately something the kids will remember when looking back at their relationship with that parent and stepparent. [/b][/quote]

I think that's smart.  My cousin (custodial parent) was a huge b!tch to her ex after the divorce.  He was the one who asked for the divorce (no cheating on either side) and she always felt like he owed her something, I guess.  Anyway, she did petty things like this.  She had the clause put in that the other parent couldn't contact the kids barring an emergency when it was not their time, this included holidays.  So if it was her turn to have the kids for Christmas, he couldn't call or text to wish them a Merry Christmas.  Anything she purchased for the kids had to stay at her house.  So on Friday when they left for school from her house, they had to wear an outfit he'd bought and put all their stuff in backpacks he bought to take to school since he picked them up after school.  Toys she bought couldn't go to his house and then when they got older it morphed into video games she bought couldn't go to his house and then they had to have two cell phones.  So crazy!  Her kids are in college now and now that they are older, they realize how petty their mom was.  Well, they started to realize it when they were in high school, but really understood the extent of it as they got older.  Their relationship with her had suffered.  I mean, she even complained almost the entire graduation of one of her kids because the ex and his wife sat across the gym and she swore he picked sitting across from her in her line-of-sight to anger her.  If he'd picked to sit horizontal to her, I'm sure her complaint would have been how dare he sit so close.  [/quote]
