[The Ex]
The 7:45-ish am phone call today, while appreciated and WELCOMED, is again leavin my contact with [daughter] very lacking.... the phone is on speaker for some reason—
thus she and I are constantly waiting for the lag-time between who is speaking, we are missing portions of what the other is saying and we are BOTH asking each other
to repeat what is being said.
Also while [daughter] and I are at your mercy for the contact schedule; at this time, I think your choices of timing might be something you can review(?!?), I would
again recommend a set evening (pre-bedtime) call, with [daughter], something of a recap of her day, that peppered with these (WONDERFUL!!) short-fill-in calls is an
excellent way for her and I to rebuild our relationship.
I would have asked her about photos etc BUT I must admit I am afraid of her not having received them so I do not want to embarrass you. Also in her box there is a
$25.00 Visa-Gift card that is for her to spend A[other state]WAY she wants... since most of the gifts sent are [Custodial Dad]tmas wrapped maybe you can tell her it
is [Custodial Dad]tmas-in-June??!!!!!??
I think that when you are ready, a once a week phone call for co-parenting is an excellent re-suggestion from your lawyer, this is a chance for you and I to cut our
mutual lawyer expenses ... and perhaps court expenses... then I can know where she is at in schooling (camp/friends/etc)... we (You and I) can get comfortable with
visitation schedules etc etc etc.... there are numerous reasons for us to talk at least once a week....
Anyway I appreciate that we are getting (somewhat) back on track.... I cannot wait for Wednesdays call (and any OTHER calls throughout) and we are ALL excited about
this coming Sundays webcam...

[The Ex],
As per Attorney [last name] and your suggestion to my attorney, I waited for my prescribed “Monday night call However, these calls have yet to happen despite your
setting up the schedule. If the day does not work for you, please do not hesitate to suggest another time and/or day. I am fully at your whim in scheduling, as always.
I am getting quite disappointed as this was the first time in years that I was able to talk to [daughter] on a regular schedule but it seems that we are falling into
old patterns yet again. I do hope that’s not the case but I’m sure you can understand my frustration as this improved contact with [daughter] is merely two months and
was finally gaining consistency.
Please have [daughter] contact me at some point this week. I would also recommend setting up the webcam on Sunday and allow [daughter] to set the duration of the chat.
It appeared that on Sunday, she would have liked the webcam on while she was doing her activities.
Also, I am confused as to why you had my wife and I send pictures when [daughter] neither requested them nor have you allowed her to view them. Either way, please
expect another package for [daughter] this week. I again sent it to the only address I have of record ([other state address].)

I don’t understand why there was not a webcam chat today ... But in the few moments that you allowed [daughter] to speak to me she indicated that she wanted to call
again later today.
I know you overheard that portion but I wanted to state (for the record) that a webcam within an hour or two notice or a phone call at anytime would be great!
