Hi shemish
It doesnt sound to me as though the ex can do very much. She is threatening, but wont be able to actually implement it.
What about asking the boy to get his friends home phone numbers? Im sure most 10yr olds could do that. Then you could contact his friends parents without going through the ex.
As to being told what he should buy his son ...... well, words fail me. Although it would be difficult for the boy, I would have thought that he would be old enough to understand if you explain to him that you cant afford it.
Nasty situation. I hope it gets resolved
Well done hubbies sonthanks guys
