We would never have considered monitoring
SD's calls. And yes, the cell phone wore off quite fast. She loses the charger constantly and if that isn't lost the phone is. It is really hard when she is with her mother, since there is no land line to get ahold of the SD, and mom won't answer her cell phone if she knows it's my husband calling.
As to when the ex calls my husband, our attorney told us to tape those. We are looking around for what might work for us and have already checked the laws in the 2 states-both are one party states, thankfully! IL where the case used to be, was a 2-party state.
So we deal with ex (sort of- SD won't turn on cell phone, so ex is having to call after the court ordered hours on the house phone) for the next week.
Thanks,
