    Default Telephone Visitation

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Virginia

    I have custody of our 3 children and my wife gets to see them 10-6 every other Saturday. On the court order it also says "Mother may have liberal telephone visitation with child". What exactly does that mean? She has been calling my babysitters house everyday (which she isnt happy with) because she is going behind my back so that she can tell the kids things that aren't true about me and calling me names. Can my babysitter tell her to call when they are with dad?

    Silly question, but is your babysitter listed in your court order? If she is not, then she is under no obligation to answer her phone. Put simply, she has every right to restrict the phone calls to her home while she is working. Yes, she can tell your ex to call her home only if it is an emergency, otherwise the children may be contacted when they are physically in you care.

    To answer your question about what "liberal telephone visitation" means, my experience has taught me that it essentially means that she does not have specific days and/or times to which her communications are restricted. Instead, she is permitted to call daily, if she wants to, and at reasonable times (during the day, while the children are at daycare or the middle of the night are not usually considered reasonable).

    I hope that helps.
