Technology should help co-parents—not become a weapon in custody wars. Unfortunately, some exes cross a serious line by using their child’s phone to spy on the other parent.
Is This Happening to You? If your ex always seems to know what’s happening in your home or shows up “coincidentally” at your location, it might not be intuition—it might be surveillance. From location tracking apps to hidden spyware, abusive exes often use their child’s phone to monitor parenting time.
The Danger Isn’t Just Privacy—It’s Emotional Harm This behavior can confuse and manipulate your child, making them feel like a messenger or a spy. It damages trust and may create long-term anxiety or loyalty conflicts.
How to Fight Back
Check for tracking apps or spyware.
Disable location sharing during your parenting time.
Use parental controls to limit remote access.
Speak to a family law attorney—especially if this violates court orders or emotionally harms your child.
Your parenting time should be yours—not monitored by a controlling ex.
