My divorce was finalized in OCT, 2002. We are joint managing conservators with me being the custodial parent. Because of substance abuse issues, supervised visitation at a county facility was ordered in the final decree and there was no mention of telephone visitation. The NCP has yet to take advantage of the ordered visitation in the 7 years since the divorce. She is also $15,000 in arrears in child support for our 2 daughters and an addition $15,000 arrears for Medical Insurance reimbursements. The OAG set a hearing to enforce child support for Sept 15, 2009. She failed to show but called the OAG and had the date reset for Dec 14, 2009.
Because of past behavior, a permanent injunction against her was granted preventing her from coming within 200 ft of me, my place of residence or employment. It was further ordered that she was not to contact me either in writing or telephone unless it was to notify me of any changes to the prescribed visitation. She was also ordered to notify me, via registered letter, of any changes in her employment, address and telephone number.
She has, and continues to be, in contempt of every order in the final decree.
When she calls, I let the calls go to voice mail because more often than not she is drunk.
She is demanding that I let her talk to our daughters. I have told my daughter that if they wish to speak with her they are free to do so either by answering her calls or telephoning her themselves. They haven't done so.
My daughters are now 14 and 18 years old, my eldest is still in high school and is set to graduate next June.
My ex is now threatening to take me to court in an attempt to modify the original divorce orders. I believe this is due in part because of the enforcement of child support action.
First off, am I in contempt by not answering the telephone calls and,
I realize no one can predict the outcome of such a hearing but what are her chances of having the visitation modified?
Thank you, in advance for your responses.
