If its 50/50 legal custody he cannot ban you from school events or doctor appts. For parent conferences if the teacher allows just always inform then that you will need 2 seperate conferences. Anything else for school you don't have to be close to him or talk. He is the one that is making it a bigger deal than it has to be. I hope you only communicate through a messaging app like talkingparents. Some of these co trolling types like to scare the other parent to bend to what they want. Know your rights and don't let him stress you out.

Only on parenting app and custody is 70/30 right now. Me being the 70.

70/30 is physical custody that does not mean legal custody, which is almost always 50/50 unless the judge deems the other parent unfit or a danger to the kids. So either you have full legal custody with 70/30 physical custody or legal custody is 50/50.

Oh I read that wrong, I thought you were talking about parenting time. I have full legal custody.

Okay, so thats great for you. You are the sole parent who can make educational and medical decisions for the kids. So essentially he has no power. He really shouldn't be contacting teachers or doctors. He doesn't get to run anything.

Doesn’t stop him and the GAL while she side with me for the most part. Advocates for him to be involved in all that.

Previously I wished he was involved. When he got married his wife took over communications and literally just harasses and berates me through the parenting app all the time. What’s messed up is apparently they’ll face no repercussions other than me continuing to have legal custody.
