block her number, or if you have caller id when you see her name on the screen, don't answer

How about getting a new phone number, not giving it to your ex, and then you dialing the number(with the *67(?) block on) when your daughter wants to talk to her mom? Or,I remember talking through my pc to people's phones about 8-10 years ago.. Can that be an option? Or does your ex HAVE to be able to call to talk to your daughter as well?

hey there... i don't have kids, so i can't give you proper advice or suggestions on that part...

as far as your ex goes... screen her calls. let her keep calling, and if it's really important, she'll leave a message. be strong, and try not to let her bring you down.

from watching my friends go through the same thing because they are separated and have kid(s), it may never be easy... but you can make things a little easier on yourself. hang in there!

Wow!! Very tough call here!

Not sure which is scarier..she calling all the time or you able to count to the number how many times she has called.

To get her to stop, thats going to be REAL tough since there is a court order in place that says she can call to talk to your daughter.

Outside of that, just hang up on her each time. You don;t have to argue, you don;t have to listen to her..so just hang up. after a while she should get the hint.

The court oder is for her to be able to talk to your daughter..not you. No judge is going to force you to talk to her..or even your daughter for that matter. The order basically says she has to be "avaialable" for her to talk to. If your daughter does not want to talk to her, then explain to your daughter "if you do not want to talk to your mother, all you have to do is tell her you do not wish to talk to her" then hang up.

Hope this helps.

I'd take all the records & go before a judge, poss. harrassment.
Might help you with the divorce matters.

I'd suggest a restraining order. She sounds like she's out of control and wants to butt into your life. My son's dad and I haven't gotten along for years, and the court tried to force us to talk, which did not work. There are simply some things courts need to stay out of. People get divorced for a reason and should never, ever be forced to socialized or subjected to things like "If you don't get along with your ex-spouse, you will be arrested", cause that's a major crock of crap.

How about this? Get your daughter a cell phone, and tell your ex that it will ONLY be on when you have your daughter?

If you log enough calls from her, that may also be considered stalking. It has to start with harassment first (which she's already doing, it sounds like) and you need to keep a log of whatever else she's doing. Any phone calls, driving by, etc. She can be arrested for stalking. This isn't healthy for your daughter, in the least, either, and the courts need to know she's doing this.

I agree about getting your daughter her own cellphone. Like a prepaid one that doesn't cost much. Great idea!

get another phone, pass that number to your friends,keep the new phone on you, put the old phone to the side, and use it when you need to speak to your daughter. just a thought.
