My fiancé is divorced from his ex-wife. They have a ten year old daughter together. At the time there are no child support orders in affect, he just sends her $60 dollars a week.

Recently he has spent hundreds of dollars on his daughter during visitation and by request for money from his ex. Now that he was unable this last week to send her money she has been calling him 3-5 times in 30 minute intervals. He has asked her in front of me to stop calling him so much.

She doesn't call to talk about the child, but to yell at him for not sending her, her money(as she puts it). She cusses him on the phone, and tells him she isn't going to allow him to speak to or see her daughter unless he sends her money.

My question is , what do we do about the harassing phone calls? What do we do about visitation? (she only lets him see his daughter when it is convenient for her).

I find it strange that there weren't any directives in the divorce decree regarding both visitation & support. When there are children involved, that is the number priority between the parties. I would suggest that your fiancé contact his divorce lawyer to find out what his rights are if it is unclear to him. The court should be petitioned for a specific visitation and support agreement. Legally, she cannot just keep him from visiting his child and he cannot just send her money when it is convenient for him. Tell him he needs to get back with his attorney on this as soon as possible. It is the only way to end this stalemate.

You can either go the legal way, or else, to make it more simple, you/your fiancée can continue paying for the child.
Just pay the amount to the child's mother and clear this mess.

It will be better to do it this way, by paying the child's maintenance, rather than going the legal way, or else the next time your finacee faces any problem in paying the child then he may be put behind bars.

The first thing you do is getting an answering machine and Caller ID. Anytime she calls, let the answering machine pick it up. This will also have the advantage of taping her threats and providing a record of her harassment.

The second thing you do is contact the lawyer who handled the divorce. Visitation cannot be tied to child support. But visitation and child support SHOULD be court ordered.
