Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Kids not returning phone calls
Girls 14.5 and 12 refuse to call their father back. Their dad has said some hurtful things to them in the past but a few months ago he told them it was to bad he had to adopt a kid to have a smart kid. This about killed the oldest as she is in special ED. She is so hurt she wants nothing to do with him. I have told her not to hold a grudge we all say things we don't mean. But now he is blaming me for her not talking to him. How do i force her to call. Can i be held in contempt for this. Also both girls have cell phones he refuses to try to call them on.

Re: Kids not returning phone calls
Sounds to me like counseling is needed, counseling that includes dad.
I would suggest talking to him about family counseling. If he wont, then Petition the Court to Modify Parenting Time and ask for court ordered counseling.
