The other parent will not let me telephone my children. What can the Friend of the Court do?
The Friend of the Court can only enforce the written orders of the court. If your court order does not provide for telephone calls, try to negotiate an agreement with the other parent. You may request friend of the court mediation or other methods of resolution. If that is unsuccessful, you may file a motion asking the court to modify the order's parenting time provisions to require that you be allowed to call your children.
