implications of judge's ruling on psychoexwifeblog
      12/06/11 02:19 PM

i have read a ton of the news stories surrounding the psycho ex-wife blog, and all of the legal fallout and speculation surrounding the judge's takedown order in the case. i don't care to get into a discussion about free speech vs negatively impacting the children, etc...

i am interested in knowing if there are any other similar cases (precedent?) where a judge has ruled that publicly badmouthing your ex is considered by the court to be abusive of the children.

in the state where our decree was issued, the ability of the primary custodial parent to support the children's relationship with the other parent is a primary factor for the court in determining custody to begin with.

so my ex has a blog that discusses in detail many, many bad things about me and about my contributions to the downfall of our relationship. of course I am not perfect, but he/she was/is also no saint, yet the blog portrays him/her as the ultimate victim at my hands, and discusses my ex's belief (and my ex's family's belief) that I am a sociopath AND a psychopath. he/she is certainly entitled to his/her opinion, and can choose to portray me and events in our marriage how he/she wants, and to whom he/she wants, the problem for me is that we agreed in our divorce stipulation, and there was an order given in our divorce decree that we would not disparage or badmouth the other parent in front of our children.

the linkage that I'm drawing is that if he/she can't control themself enough to not spew this nasty mean-spirited info online publicly for the world to see, how can that person be expected to control themself in terms of how he/she speaks directly to the kids (or in their direct presence) about me?

i have numerous reports from my kids about comments that are being made in their presence, but obviously these things are impossible to prove, or may be skewed by the child saying what they think I want to hear, etc...

our children (boys ages 3, 5, and 7) are starting to use the internet, especially the 7 year old, and it would be extremely easy for them to stumble upon the ex's blog about me or his/her facebook page postings about me.

i know it will vary state to state, but is there any likelihood that the court would consider the ex's blog and facebook posts as child abuse (like in the psycho exwife blog case), or in the least a contemptable offense?

any input or advice appreciated.
