Legal Question in Family Law in California

DO I LEGALLY HAVE TO TALK TO THE FATHER OF MY CHILD? We are going through child support court and soon custody. His texts and emails are always insulting and harassing. He has a huge temper and is a 16 time felon. He even slammed my son down when he was 6 mo. old. So do I LEGALLY have to communicate with him? I know he has the right to communication about my son but if its only insulting and harassing directed toward me and never about my son, do I have to stay in contact? LEGALLY

You would benefit from structured court orders that require communication that is nonemergency through emails. This could create the opportunity to minimize the kind of abusive conduct exercised by your ex. If this doesn't work, then a return to court for restraining orders would be appropriate.
