My Ex Made Our Child Block Me – Is That Legal?

It’s every parent’s nightmare: You reach out to your child, and there’s silence. No texts. No calls. Then, you realize—you’ve been blocked. You’re not just being ignored, you’ve been digitally erased. And often, it’s not the child’s idea—it’s the result of manipulation by a narcissistic or controlling ex.

So the big question becomes: Is this legal? And what can you do?

If your custody order gives you the right to communicate with your child, your ex may be violating that order by interfering—even through phones or apps. Courts are beginning to recognize that digital alienation is just as damaging as in-person obstruction.

This behavior often signals parental alienation—when one parent poisons the child’s view of the other parent. Courts in Alabama and across the country frown upon it. If your ex is cutting you off emotionally from your child, that could lead to a modification of custody or visitation rights.

What can you do now?

Start by documenting everything. Save screenshots, note missed calls, and track patterns. Don’t lash out or retaliate—judges look for maturity and consistency. Contact an experienced family law attorney to help you assert your rights and reconnect with your child through lawful channels.

This type of manipulation can be devastating—but you don’t have to face it alone.
