What do you do when BM ignores your emails?

This just kills me. BM has DH in court for sole custody of SS-7 on the grounds that all parental communication has broken down. However the reason it has broken down is because of her. She tells us only what she wants to know. All communication has to be in writing because of her numerous lies. Now she chooses which emails to respond to and which not to. IF we catch her in a lie or doing anything wrong she just ignores them and refuses to reply. Do we just send them again? Would that be considered harrassment if we did?

Keep EVERYTHING. Like Freeze said, print them out and document everything. I would not resend your emails. She has them, she knows you sent them, she is just choosing not to respond.

I don't send anything to Frizz. But when my ex ignores my messages about choochoo and important stuff he needs to know...I'll keep hitting resend until his mailbox is so damned full he realizes he's an ass to ignore me then he responds. Persistence is key. Squeaky wheel gets the oil:)

Disney Land only responds to the ones when is suits her. DH sent one about a deceision they both need to make and she ignored it, last night DH sent her an email about $$ and within 10 minutes she had replied. I like JadedBarbie's idea..sounds like fun..LOL

This was going to be my suggestion. With certified mail you have official proof with BM's signature that the mail was received.

that's ok. The postal service has a record of all of the attempts they made. That is sufficient.

Ours ignores DH's emails when she doesn't like that he is questioning or saying, and there it ends. God would I like that power. Me thinks that it is going on between them as we speak. SS9 has contagious little warts all over his torso & BM doesn't want to have them be removed but is going with the hopes that they might go away eventaually. BTW they are called musculom contagious... anyone note the contagious part of the name??? They are spreading & some ooze so DH is suggesting they be removed. I suspect she will ignore this email.

AAAAAH! Yikes! My son had this when he was 2. I believe its contagious to other kids not adults. Right? At any rate, the warts disappeared, and there were only a few, but if my son was older I would of had them removed since he would be around other children.

Your DH sent his emails. No response means compliance by BM.

That's another suggestion. Tell her in the email what no response by a certain time means to you. Give her 24 hours at a minimum to respond (unless it's a more urgent matter and you can't give her that long) then let her know what your action will be if you don't hear from her.

We do that a lot with board of director voting.

I agree with persistence, and keeping a copy of each email... try 2 times for a response, perhaps in subject line note: "first attempt" and "second attempt" and like totalybogus said... "certified mail".

If you have documentation you are attempting communication on your side and she is not replying, she has not a foot to stand on in front of the judge.

Get a "return receipt" on your emails you send her. That way when she OPENS them, you have PROOF that she opened them!

Aren't those optional? I've gotten email like that before that requested I send a return receipt, I just ignored it.

I know on AOL it ALWAYS send me a receipt. So either the people I email don't ignore them, or it goes through even if they ignore it.
