My partner has made numerous attempts to call his son with no luck. he has attended court for contact and calls, webcam and once a month visits were decided as he lives about 300 miles away. The 3 month date was cancelled and so his stbx has now denied all contact via phone and visits until the next court date. He recieved a letter from her solicitor today stating that even though he calls and she is ignoring the calls it is deemed as harassment????
he only wants to speak to his son and she is making it very difficult. Her solicitor has stated that if he tried to call she will have him for "harassment", surely this can't be right??

Quite often life just isnt fair and this may well have to wait until the next court date. It may be advisable to stop the calls just for the moment so the situation cant be made worse. You could always pop into the Legal Advice Surgery on here tonight between 6pm and 8pm to get some proper advice.
Good luck

OK, just thought he could have sent his son his own mobile phone so that they could talk without involving the ex. But he is a bit young for that.
I dont see why this is classed as harrasment, I would have thought it more of a case of obstruction on her part. If it were me, I would perhaps stop calling and write a letter to the little boy as often as he could, keeping a copy lodged with his solicitor. Address it to his little boy, she will obviously throw it away, no doubt about that.
I cannot see how trying to contact your own child can be deemed as harrasment. Just another case of a trumped up solicitor causing trouble and exercising their unlimited power in destroying any hope of an amicable situation.
If it were me, and I am not advising this, only saying if it were me, I would tell his solicitor to get lost. And if he feels he has a strong case for harrasment, get on with it!!!!! But that is me.
Your partner might not want to do that for fear of alienating his child even more. What a dreadful situation. What a selfish, uncaring mother. Shame on her.
Hopefully you will get some other advice which will help you,

His stbx has lied before about harassment and when my partner asked her to show the texts where he was threatening her, of course she couldnt as he has never threatened her. Her solicitor is desperatly trying to make him look bad in court and has made various attempts to blacken his name. She is very frustrated with him as self repping and doing a bloody good job at it. My fear is that all this is going to drive him away and he will end up going to work abroad and disappearing off the face of the earth. The only one who will suffer is his son and of course my partner, but i suppose she will too as I know full well he wont pay her anymore SM if he does.
