Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Email Fraud

My son has a half brother 9 months his junior who knows nothing about my son. I have insisted that the father tell his other son (with whom he lives - he sees my son only 1 time a year) about my son, since he 'slipped' and told my son about the other. He has now sent some emails that we are expected to believe are from this 8-year old boy and my son is expected to answer. The father and his live-in girlfriend (mother of other boy) insist that the children will be too 'stressed' to talk on the telephone and refuse to let my son talk to his half brother. In other words, obviously they are the authors of these emails supposedly from the child to my son. I find this really creepy - - an adult writing emails to a child pretending to be a child. My son does not correspond with anybody via email, and I have raised him to be wary of any email coming from sources that he cannot confirm (I've seen enough Dateline, et. al). I've a mind to report them for fraud - for impersonating a child in order to contact a child. Any weight here??

Re: Email Fraud

No, not that I see, but if you want to have visitation between the children I suggest you go to court and file a motion.
