Claims of harassment

Soc;
We have an issue with CP constantly claiming NCP is harassing her.  Her claims are based on any inquiry regarding child (ie: illness)all recorded.  She will request NCP call her at work to discuss child or relative matters and shriek " don't harass me at work" also recorded.  Any denied visitation is followed up with a letter from NCP advising of our intention to submit the withheld visitation for contempt, sent cert, rr.  These letters are very generic, state the AO stipulation, why it will be submitted for consideration as contempt.  She claims this also to be harassment.
CP has trumped up semi-physical harassment claims as well.  She hasn't devulged to NCP she has suffered any actual physical contact from him but states NCP was "in her face" (which is actually false, StepNCP there as witness) and there are no RO's that we know of . Because of this semi physical "threat"  she claims she must bring her husband as witness,  consequently this makes her late to exchange child at visitations! Yet sometimes will drive alone.
We do know thjat there has been at least one altercation between CP and her husbands ex. (The she fight had somebodies head being slammed off the hood of a car!!)

We feel that this will be brought forward at some piont during our case, exagerated(sp?) I'm sure.  We'd hate to shoot ourselves in the foot, we'd rather present ourselves with pristene halo's!

1) Is there something that we should be doing as damage control?
2) Invalidate her claims?
2) Anything else you can add is appreciated?

Thank you in advance

Get a sworn affidavit from husband's ex, as to the events of the encounter with CP. Goes to proving tendency towards physical violence.

StepNCP is not a credible witness, because that person has a stake in the outcome. Always have a tape recorder running whenever you communicate with the other parent, whether on telephone or in person, and make certain that the parent knows that they are being recorded.
