I'm hoping some of you may have dealt with or are dealing with an ex that has access to his children's online accounts (e.g. Apple ID). While the children and I have nothing to hide, I'm just wondering about what can be legally done to restrict his access.
My ex requested the children's passwords for their Apple ID and within hours started to browse their notes, iMessages, log of Facetime calls, photos, GPS location, email and contacts.
While I understand that both parents need to monitor their children's online presence and such, don't the children deserve a bit of privacy? The children are below the age of 15.
My ex showed little to no interest in the children's schooling, medical history, etc... but all of a sudden he is questioning the kids on these topics as a direct result of snooping through their accounts and files. This is the same person who never asked them about such topics when he speaks to them.
With regards to location-based services, is my ex legally allowed to trace the children's every move? For example, he noticed that the children and I spent time at a friends home; does he need to know this? Does he need to know what our every move will be when going on a trip? He's the type of controlling individual that would ask the kids if they enjoyed the CN Tower and the Greek restaurant we ate at, but only because he kept a log of where we went while visiting Toronto.
This to me is a clear invasion of my children's privacy as well as other family members who might be with the children.
Btw, we do not have a custody agreement and are in the midst of bringing in a motion for access and custody. However, I have them 100% of the time.
Any advice or comments are welcomed.
