[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why no communication? Not even phone calls? That doesn’t seem healthy for parent or kid. Can non custodial parent have dinner with kid in middle of off week? If both parents do this, it’s still “fair” in terms of time. [/quote]

Would love to see them mid-week for dinner but not an option. Order states (and for good reason) that transitions are to be through school.

Considering that, any other ideas that might work for us?  Thanks[/quote]

Would the school(s) agree to facilitate a call on the non-custodial weeks?

I don't know the answer to forcing the issue during your non-custodial time. On the one hand I think there's value in letting your kids know you are there for them/fought to have contact. I'd ask on this forum for experiences or talk to a therapist.[/quote]

Yes, it’s difficult to know if I should tell them I tried to call and other parent is refusing. It’s a fine line between disparaging other parent.

Anyone want to share how they discuss similar situations with their kids, or if you’ve chosen not to discuss, what impact has that had on your relationship?

No, you don't discuss it with the kids.  Email the ex and tell them you want a phone call at xx time in advance and if that's not good ask them to set a time and given them a timeframe when you are available.  Document it all.[/quote]
