Covid restrictions have wreaked havoc on my partners arrangements with having his child eow and holidays. There were many weekends that his child couldn't come to his Dads due to covid in the home, close contacts etc. The communicate nightly via FaceTime and while not ideal , it was their thing and something they both looked forward to.
Partner and his ex have cordial relationship and there wasn't any trouble until recently.
Partner has moved house and is now nearer to his child so had hoped to see him more.
However in the past two months, his ex wife has refused to allow their child to spend anytime with his dad and is not allowing nightly calls. Child's phone has been turned off for weeks and his
Messages are undelivered and unread.
She will also not agree to him collecting child from school or spending days with their child even if she won't allow overnights.
Every few nights, she will send a text message threatening court and rewriting their access arrangements, looking for money and calling him all types of horrible names. She will then text the next day saying she is not stopping him from seeing his child and needs specific dates free for whatever occasion is happening.
His maintenance is very generous in my opinion and he signed over the house when they divorced.
She wants arrangements changed to him having child every weekend despite their agreement being eow. He works every Saturday so that can't work .
Then another rambling text will come
demanding different access. It's all confusing. She is a heavy drinker so maybe these texts are sent when she is drunk.
This wasn't an issue through covid restrictions.
I've seen all the texts.His lawyer has told him to save them.
They are rambling and at times abusive.
He had saved them for when time comes to go back to court.
He has had his lawyer send a letter to her asking for renewed arrangements so he can get back to being with his child.
He is devastated and stressed.
How do I support him and what is going on here? Thanks
