I'm not sure what to do about this situation or if there is anything I can do.
My ex wife insists on sending our daughter over to my house on the weekends with her Gizmo smart watch. for anyone that is not familiar with this device, its a kid friendly cell phone watch that has a few emergency contacts she can call, and others can call her. if she does not pickup, the watch automatically answers after 5 rings.
I have asked her to stop sending the watch for a few reasons. The first one being that our daughter is not mature enough to keep track of the expensive gadget and im worried it is going to be lost at my house, secondly i do not agree with that fact that my ex wife can call my daughter at any given time of the day or night. the last call she received on it was after 9pm when my daughter was already put to bed. I feel like this device is taking away my ability to raise my daughter the way i see fit during my time with her, not to mention I am not even an emergency contact on the watch. My daughter has always been allowed to call or receive calls from her mom during normal hours of the day so this feels like nothing more than an invasion of my privacy and an invasion of my visitation. She says i need to talk to her attorney about it. Is there anything I can do? Do i even have any ground to stand on here?
