I was wondering what everyone's experience has been like with using email to communicate with the ex/other parent and with using emails as evidence in court.
Recently, my fiance suggested he and his ex use emails to communicate and express major concerns or issues. Using the phone has become extremely difficult, seeing as my fiances ex would use the phone to verabally attack him and then deny him phone time with his little girl. Also, we figure this would be a good way to document how her mood/attitude changes from naughty to nice everytime she gets a support check. (Typical!)
My fiances emails have been respectful and rational, even when the
BM was completely awful. He has not been insultiing, never sweared and was always focused on their daughter. But after thinking about it, we are afraid the courts will think our polite emails are just a bluff and are an attempt to fire the BM up to make her look bad.
Also, we have court in 3 months and are trying for both 50/50 physical and
legal custody. We would ulimately like to show that all parties can work together to raise this child. However, the lack of cooperation on the BM's part will most likely sway the courts into thinking 50/50 is a bad idea, in which case, BM having
sole custody would be MUCH worse.
Please share your stories, nightmares or details of your still on-going battles =)
By the way, we live in MA, in Hampden County.
Thanks
