Dear Attorneys,
I recently separated from my children’s father. We went through the Court and reached a final agreement in our custody matter, about four months ago. Shortly after we finalized everything, he was great about communication. We are required to use Our Family Wizard (OFW) to communicate. However, in the last month, he hasn’t even read my messages. I have texted him just to alert him that there are messages waiting for him, and he has not responded. This has led to confusion with our children’s sports schedule, as well as some pick-up/drop-off coordination issues. What do I do?
Sincerely,
Communication Connie
Dear Connie,
It is definitely concerning that he has ceased communication with you. As you know, communication with your co-parent is essential to facilitate a healthy co-parenting relationship and to foster a sense of comfort and unity for your children. Since it has been a month at this point (seemingly with no end in sight), you may want to text and/or email him and let him know that if he does not start following the Court Order and communicating on the app, that you will have no choice but to file a Motion for Contempt with the Court. Hopefully, that will scare him into cooperating. However, if it does not, you may want to consider consulting with an attorney so that you can actually move forward with the post-judgment motion.
