Re: when is it considered harassment?

I have the same problem as you do, and the California courts seem to do a poor job in recognizing and dealing with alienating parents. Possibly you could file a motion requesting a certain time for telephone contact, or an order to show cause re: contempt. Good luck!

P.S. Keep a detailed diary of dates and times when you attempt to call, including what happened (hang-up, call duration etc.), this will help immensely in any future court involvement.
