WTH is she up to now????

So, BM got the packet DH filed with the court. DH also sent BM an e-mail after SD told us about her stunt for summer (see my previous blog) very calmly telling her this behavior was not acceptable.

Not a peep since. She has telephonic parenting time every other day, and she has missed the last week of calls to SD.

My thoughts are...
1) She saw the word "child support" and has decided she does not want to do this anymore (you mean actually take responsibility for your kid? GASP!)
2) She is pissed that SD came running to us with all the crap she tried to pull (What? SD is loyal to the people that have loved her and raised her, and does not want to play the games????? She doesn't believe all the lies????)
3) She and MIL are plotting there next move, and she is laying low.

We are keeping track of her missed calls, and DH got a letter from the judge today saying BM has so many days to respond to what we filed...

Out of curiosity, when (how long do we let her go with out calling) do we bring up the fact she has failed to contact SD, and what is the best way to do so? Just a letter to the judge?

Just like any NC parent, the order for telephone contact is so that the CP cannot keep the kid away from the other parent. It is discretionary and totally up to the NC parent if they want to take advantage of the time. If she misses it, it is simply Missed time with her child and just shows her lack of interest. It will catch up to her if she ever seeks more time or if she ever tries for any kind if custody

Yep, we keep email contact and phone records as much as possible so we can prove that she's completely out of touch. Problem in your scenario is that the judge sent you the same letter he sent BM which means she's on notice. A BM on notice tends to rally and come up with all sorts of crap. Don't let your guard down at ALL. It's good for you that SD is loyal to you both who have supported her.
Good LUCK!!! And gather as much evidence as you can- teachers, caretakers, etc.

At least yours had the decency to take a hike and not disrupt your entire family life. I never felt like a "step" mother until this bitch decided to rear her ugly head again. grrrrr
