Hi. I have been divorced for 5 years. Ex removed for DV (mainly verbal). My question is. My children aged 11, 9 & 7 spend time with the father in accordance with orders. I had provided them with a mobile phone so they could contact me. The orderd are they can contact either party at reasonable request. Father's girlfriend found children messaging me. Told children it was unacceptable. Removed phone and gave it to their dad. Was confiscated their whole visit. Children were told not to hide phone from dad. All are afraid of him and too scared to ask to contact me as they get in trouble and are filled with emotional abuse. Can anything be done? Been right through court. A lot of stuff didn't get to the judge as father holds it against children and it's harder for them.
