“Reasonable” and “unlimted” sound inconsistent and it’s hard to know what a judge would do with these terms. The solution is to seek to have the other parent held in contempt and have the judge better explain what is meant by the order. Of course, exhaust all efforts to have a reasonable negotiation before moving on the contempt issue. Good luck.

I have a NC custody order that says we are to allow reasonable unlimited phone contact between the children and the other parent. My ex has blocked my home phone and cell, so the children cannot call me. What can I do to resolve this? If he makes up an excuse like “they can call you, they just have to ask for me to take the block off first”, will that be allowed by the court?
