Impeding indirect contact

5 replies

MrsProthero82 · 22/12/2022 05:14

Hi,
For background, my ex left me about 4 years ago and we have a child care arrangement in place for our 8 year old daughter(M). The court order gave my ex a lot more direct contact and care for our daughter than I hoped.
He has now given her a smart watch and tries to make contact with her while she is in my care. There is a child care arrangement/order in place, which specifies exactly when we must facilitate indirect contact and I find this watch and intrusion on my time with M.
AIBU by taking the watch away from my daughter so that he can't text her?

Thanks.

is there a reason you're not happy the court gave him more access than you'd like?

Does she want to talk to her dad?

Outtasteamandluck · 22/12/2022 05:26

Is he contacting her at the specified 'indirect contact' time ?

What's the backstory ?

What is the backstory here? I would be concerned about tracking and using the messages to get to you. However if there are no safety concerns, and you just don’t like him, I don’t think it’s fair to block your daughter’s contact with him just because it’s your time with her. You need to consider your daughter’s best interests.
