My ex husband and I do not get along at all. He has blocked my number so I can’t contact my children while they are in his care. Is there legal grounds surrounding that????

What are the reasons you need to contact your kids whilst in his care?
Is it a hill worthy dying on?
I never contact my kids when with their father, because I don't want to impose on their time or make the kids home sick.
Because my son has an appt today (not at school for that reason) but his father hasn’t dropped him off. What if there was an emergency?? He has blocked me permanently so if one of the children have an accident while they are in my care and are in hospital etc, how do I contact him?
I just think it's a power play from a dickhead and the more it angers/infuriates/upsets you, the happier, more rewarded he will feel.
These guys get off on upsetting others.
You know what, bad luck for him, you can't inform of anything that happens to the kids in your care.
It just shows he would rather hurt you than know what's happening with his own kid's lives.
Have you been fighting a lot? Could he be trying to diffuse the situation (just asking, although I doubt it)?
It really should be me that should be the one blocking. His fiancé physically assaulted me in front of our 9 year old son at a soccer field last year (while games were being played). He’s just an asshole that doesn’t pay child support but thinks he can call all the shots
You know what will annoy him most, if you don't even "notice" that he blocked you.
He wants a reaction, don't give him one lovely x
You can get phone calls put into court ordered plans, although it may depend how much time he has with them. If it's only every second weekend they might not. You can definitely ask to be contacted in an emergency though. I think there are also apps that parents can use for communication if they don't want to share numbers.
Email him. When you have to. He doesn’t want you phoning him and he doesn’t have to be accessible. He should let you know if he doesn’t drop the child for your pickup. Email.
Just ignore it and email in an emergency.
Most people have email on there phones and check it fairly often.
I had to learn to stop reacting to my ex, and be ok with not having control when my daughter isnt here. Because I realised he wanted a reaction, and he loved knowing he could get under my skin. And that's exactly what blocking people does.
I wouldn't be too upset about him blocking you, just move on to emailing each other, so you have proof of communication.
If you have an emergency email him and deal with it yourself then and with family and friends. If your child has drs appointments try scheduled them on your time if you don't think or can trust your ex will take them.
I know it's not fair but when co parenting is hateful and argumentative, it's just easier to deal with that stuff yourself and not react or rely on the other party. It's taken me years to learn this, but generally the shitty behaviour from the other party stops and it gets easier.
