I would be highly suspect of anyone claiming that "the court told them they could do X, Y, or Z". Courts are VERY careful about not giving any advice because it could be construed as legal advice and they aren't allowed to give legal advice. A court would more likely tell the ex to consult with an attorney about her specific case. They can explain court rules and even tell a person what forms they need and where to get them. They cannot interpret a decree or determine any type of custody issues through a phone call.
