Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

parenting issue

If I am unable to communicate with my ex due to past verbal abuse, threatened to kill me and past one year restrainting order. But there is a court appointed family member to transfer my daughter to and from her visits with him. Would it look poorly on myself to decline my ex's many attempts to have communication with me. He repeatdly uses our child against me to gain what he wants. Phone conversations, email, etc.... I just worry that if I don't answer him, that he can use this against me in court; stating that I am not communicating appropriately with him re: our child. I have full legal and physical custody and he has every other weekend. He does not contribute to our child's school funds or activies that he is in.

I only receive minimal support payment. Am I obligated to include him in outside of school activities that my son participates in

even though he does not want his father to be there?

He is afraid of his father and wakes after nightmares and says his father is a monster! (really) If his father comes to watch,

I am afraid that this will only make him stop participating in the activities.

Re: parenting issue

Your are not obligated to allow him any more visitation than is provided for in the separation agreement. As far as communicating with him, you should apply for a restraining order.
