BM has made my husband's life impossible since she found out we got married. Avoided the court order at all costs. Went to court again and now that she has a new boyfriend she is trying to act like she's always allowed visits and my hubs is just a deadbeat because her bf has a kid too. Now that she's trying to look good for the new bf she wants to communicate. We have a visit coming up and she wants to talk to myself and my husband about "something" in regards to sk. Husband told her to msg it since court ordered a messaging app and she refuses it. She wants to talk in person but we don't care for it because she's twisted things before and lied to make herself look better. Now she's refusing to discuss anything and my husband just doesn't care if she does or doesn't. He knows important stuff like allergies and stuff. Food, sk can tell us what they don't like etc. Are we wrong for not giving a crap to "talk" anymore? I just don't see why she can't msg it. Either way it's better to have it for reference later in case we forget anything.

she just doesn’t want a paper trail that’s why she won’t use it i’m having the same issue. my boyfriend bm decides what she wants or doesn’t want to do when it comes to being a mom, keep in mind this child has severe medical issues. bf doesn’t want to pay for the app but i’m willing to atp because i’m over it. honestly take her back to court.

All communication in text..... thats what my hubby did because you want that paper trail..... they be trying to hide stuff.... oh no.... if you can't text we can't talk

We have the same issue . She will call and I have to tell my husband to hang up and tell her she needs to text it . It’s beneficial in that now she can’t lie and she can’t say “I never said that” . BM has done this SEVERAL times when it comes to pick ups, drop offs, and appointments for SS . The texting app is genius and honestly the best thing . If they can’t text it. It probably doesn’t need to be said in my opinion
yessss!!!! I agree
it would be the 5th contempt with nothing being done by the courts so husband already said f the courts
that's how I feel too like I told him, I was like dude when she doesn't get something her way she sends you a whole novel of bs n with something"important" she can't? Nah f that.

Not wrong at all!! I’m in practically the same situation except my husband is open to talking to her because he feels like that’s what’s best and he doesn’t want drama. I think he shouldn’t and we’ve been arguing about it 🙄

Look at your state laws in regards to recording a conversation. In NE it is a one party state meaning that as long as one party (you) know that you are being recorded it is legal.
yes we record every convo. She gets mad when she finds out but it's legal so we don't care.
I feel you. My husband used to be like that too

I record every call and video chat and pickup and dropoff. I also screanshot every message and bm only talks to me for the past 2 years now if she wants something it needs to be from me bc my husband and I agreed she will never talk to him again. Lol. Only in court and no joke he won't look in her direction. We have come along way.
