    Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)
    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: TX

    I have oint Managing Conservatorship of my kids (12 and 10) I am non custodial. Their dad has refused to grant me contact with my children via telephone and email. The only contact I have is during my physical custody times EOW and Wed for 2 hours. There is nothing in the CO that says that he has to allow me this contact, but is there anything implied? How will a judge feel about this? :wallbang:

    You can go to court to have the order modified - unless there is something specifically granting you phone/email contact, Dad is not in contempt and isn't guilty of anything.

    As a side note, please don't use the term PAS in court - PAS has been discredited by every reputable agency and organization in the country. Parental alienation absolutely exists - but leave off the "syndrome" part ;)

    Wow, thanks. Here is the thing, step mother is accusing me of PAS (that's where I got the term from her website postings talking about a book that she is reading, Divorce Poison) but it's not happening, therefore she has no proof except what this crooked LPC that is seeing the kids is agreeing to testify to. (Same counselor that admits to making notes "magically disapear in to a different file upon subpoena- what are you hiding??)

    Oh she's blowing smoke. Let her do so - it's sad though that she doesn't realize that she's jeopardizing her husband's custody....

    So, go to court and get your order modified...ideally, it should be far more specific. You can request, for example, twice-weekly scheduled phone calls with the kids.

    We are going to court because they have filed an enforcement against me (I refuse to pay for braces, more to it than refusing though, different subject) this is 100% in retaliation to a letter I had my attorney send stating I wanted to order clarfied on certain things. (trying to be amicable) They refused to respond, did not want to go back in front of the judge (he hated them both jury gave them primary) and waited until the 6 months was up to file motion to transfer. (it was 3 weeks away)

    *sigh*

    What you should do in the meantime is call up at a decent hour.... like 5pm every other day or something of that sort.
    When dad refuses, write it down on a calendar/ planner and bring it to court with you.
    Simply ask the judge for you to speak with your children. Be flexible...
    DH's ex has it in our court order that she can call daily until 7pm.... and she has less time than you do... so go for daily and open in the air... not scheduled but before a certain time, that way you aren't required to call and things come up, but it's open for you to when you can.
