It sounds to me that you and the X are both responsible for your kids behavior on the phone. I good way to get your kid to speak properly on the phone is for you, and your X to interact on the phone with your kid. BOth of you should be teaching him phone manners. It's not just the father, and the childs fault here. It everyones fault. I believe that every NCP should have phone time with there child(ren). Here in Michigan the courts encourage phone time. They leave it up to the parents to divise a schedule. The way I see it here, both parents are at fault for your childs phone manners.

Here is a website that may be helpful.  http://www.adaa.org/ .
 
 My exgf also suffers from this. After she moved out, she left behind a bunch of medical documents from counselors, and doctors...etc. Did she suffer this disorder when your husband and her were together. Did she attend any counseling. If so, did she sign a consent document giving your husband the right to view, and ask questions about these appointments. You may want to look into that option.
  As for the support. Here in Michigan if the custodial parent doesn't work. They automatically give an earning capacity of $7 per hr. It would seem like most states would be like that.

Sorry I can't be more help

>I'm confused, what exactly did the ex's boyfriend do?  You
>just refer to it as 'it'.  What type of custody do you have?

Sorry. I should have been more specific. "It" is referring to physical, and verbal abuse.

We have joint legal custody, and she has physical custody. As for visitation, we ( ex, and I) make our own schedule, and have been doing so since December of '04.

I would also like to add that she has contaminated my parenting time several times. I have warned her every time.

Thanks

ps    This case is in Jackson county, Michigan

My ex- girlfriend, and I have been broke up for about 1 1/2 yrs. She moved 270mi away with my daughter. Since then she has gone to jail for domestic violence, and I have also called the police because of what I heard in the background while talking to my daughter on the phone. This past x-mas I went down to pick up my daughter, and the ex told me that he did it again. I told her that our daughter will not live there again. She (ex) then moved back here, and lived with her mother. Come January daughters grandma was to pick her up for church, but the ex showed up un announced, and illegally entered my home, and started arguing with me. I told her to leave several times, but with no avail. I then ad to forcefully remove her from my house. She punched me in the neck several times, but I finally got her out of the house and call the cops. I didn't press charges because I didn't want our daughter to see her mother in handcuffs. After this incident she moved back with her boyfriend with our daughter. A month later he did it again. She then moved in with her ex husbands father. I had no problem with that. He's a real nice person. She then came back up here to clean some summer homes for like 2 mos. She left to go back downstate last week. I figured she was goin back  her ex husbands fathers, but she went back to her boyfriends. She says they are getting married, and that she's moving back with him now.

  What options do I have? My daughter is confused, and I just don't know what to do.

I'm ordered by the court to notify then about any address, and employment changes that may happen. My ex-gfriend has moved, and has made no attempts to call the FOC about her change of address? What are the consequences for her, and what are my rights concerning this issue? The case is in Michigan. Thanks in advance

Here in Michigan, if the mother doesn't tell you where they live it would be contempt, and she could go to jail, and/or be fined. If noone has filed for custody, then my advice is to file b4 she does. Also in MI, there's a 125mi rule. If your the one that filed , and she moved outside of a 125mi radius of your home then it is considered parental kidnapping. Like said above, I would also quit giving her money. Put it into an escrow acct. You have the right to know where your child is living. The stuff that you said she has done are strikes against her. Call the Police agencie that handled the complaint, and retrieve a copy of the police report, and submit it at the custody hearing. Hope this helps.
