Mel, the idea behind the cell phone is that it could be used by my kids so that I can communicate with them directly without having to phone my W's parent's home phone. It would also allow my W to call my kids on it when they are with me without having to call my cell phone or home phone.
My D6 has also been texting my W and my MIL when they are home with WhatsApp and she has fun with that. I have no doubt my messages with my D would be monitored by my W and my MIL but that's fine. I just want to have a way to communicate with my kids more often.
I certainly am praying my W will agree to 50/50. If she won't I can't believe she wouldn't understand that I will fight for them. If she will at least agree to 50/50 then we can sort everything else out and move on if that's what she wants to do.
