Epodvo Communication Guidelines

Summary

Jacob Durbin from Bowling Green, Kentucky, is facing a situation where he is unable to communicate with his childrens mother due to her blocking him. This is despite a court order that allows them to text each other about their children. He is hesitant to involve law enforcement due to the potential consequences for the childrens mother. He has considered appointing a neutral third party for communication, but this is not allowed as his children are on the protection order. He is considering seeking legal advice on how to modify the order to allow for communication about his childrens wellbeing.
