[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. It’s petty and stupid, and unfortunately something the kids will remember when looking back at their relationship with that parent and stepparent. [/quote]

It is important, as the custodial parent, to be monitoring your children's social media.  Not OK to be blocked.  I'd fight this in court OP.

I would go along with "custodial parent will not initiate communication with the children during visitation unless it's an emergency", but it's wrong to tell kids they can't talk to their parent when they wish.  Outside of the obvious, i.e. you can't be on the phone during church or dinner or until we leave grandma's or whatever.  Your kids need to be able to communicate with you and their other parent when they feel the need.  You need to have "neither parent will interfere in the children's attempts to communicate with the other parent" or however the lawyers would say it.[/quote]
