ex's wife interferring

[seffysmiles]

my ex's wife called my childrens school. The school told me that she had called and just being on the phone made the secretary uncomfortable. Can I tell her to not do that again, legally since I know she is only a legal stranger to the kids. What else can I do to stop her interferring with the kids? I've already told my ex and had a lawyer tell him to tell her to back out. Thanks.

What kind of custody arrangement do you have? How is she a legal stranger to the kids, is she not their mother? Please clarify.

No these are MY CHILDREN. By law a step mother is nothing more than a legal stranger. I was told this by a lawyer when she tried to butt in on his back child support. My lawyer looked at her and asked what business she had here. She said she had a legal right to be there because she was going to be their step mother. He told her even if you marry him you will be nothing more than a legal stranger to the children. You have no rights here. I have full custody, he only has visitation rights.

I understand I misread your post as this woman being your ex wife, not ex's wife. You are correct she has no rights here however your ex has rights so she may have sone in a very limited capacity if he gives them to her but I don't see how she can call the school legally unless she is listed on the kids paperwork?

Seriously, you shouldn't be telling her anything. That's her husband's job, and you'll have more credibility in court if you let him and the lawyer handle it.

If the school is not releasing any information to her, then why get involved?

I didn't talk to her. I would like to just write my ex an email stating that by law his wife has no legal right to contact our children's school and that next time he should do it and to tell her to not call again. All I want to know is can I do this, put him on notice without overstepping my boundries. I know he can call and I believe he should have been the one to do it. Not her job. I don't involve my fiance so I don't think he should involve his wife in their schooling.
