  • ex wife is making it hard for me to see my kids what do i do

    my kids live with her she is six hours a way I am supposed to have them a week a month , but with school that is hard to pull off cause they can't afford to be off a week a month so for the past 3 years I get them for xmas march break and one week in july and august
    the rest of the time on long weekends .
    for the past 3 visits it's been cut short by her down to 2 days cause she has things to do as she says.
    the other issue is my older son is severally autistic and I have tried to keep in touch thru skype lately she ignores my texts that i am trying to get a hold of him . it has been 2 weeks since i last spoke to him I text her email and call i get replies like he's sleeping or they are not home . what can i do ?

    Big decision but you could move the six hours to be closer.

    Other than that you have your agreement tell her to take a long walk off a short pier.

        Send her a registered letter stating that it is in the child's best interests that you maintain frequent contact with the children, especially the autistic one. That you enjoy your skype time with the kids and that you respectfully request that she either a) ensure they are available to skype at X time, or b) provide you with an alternative time which you can skype the kids.

        With regards to the plans she has for the kids, my personal opinion is tell her to get bent. Unless she clears these plans with you BEFORE she makes them AND offers you makeup time to compensate you for any lost time, I'd simply not agree to bring them back early. She doesn't get to dictate your parenting time schedule, you have an agreement that provides for that, which you plan to abide.
