Without a court order allowing a parent to withhold contact with the other parent, it may not qualify as "abuse" but withholding phone contact with the other parent for 25 days could be highly frowned upon by a judge. The judge may impose sanctions against the parent withholding the phone contact. It indicates parents using the child as a weapon against the other parent.
