Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Recently my husband has asked his ex-wife to refrain from contacting him for any purpose other than to relay essential information regarding their two children, due to frequent demeaning texts she sends him when he refuses to allow her to make changes the court-ordered visitation schedule. He sent her a text asking that all communication cease other than what is absolutely necessary. In her response she did not acknowledge his request, and in fact stated that if he would not be willing to take the children to activities she signed them up for on his scheduled weekends, that she would just have to keep them on these weekends. I responded and let her know that due to her actions recently and in the past, she was not to contact us unless there was an emergency or urgent matter. I asked that we all remain adults, that she not try to make the children feel that it was their fault that contact between their parents had to be so limited (only because her willingness to disparage my husband so openly in front of their children has been an issue in the past several times) , and that my husband would be following the visitation schedule to the letter. I also stated we would take legal action should she refuse to let him see them, as she's also done this in the past. There were some personal comments due to my frustration, but nothing vulgar, threatening, no curse words or anything of that nature. This is the first time I've spoken to her in any way in the over four years my husband and I have been together, other than a single incident where she came up to us and accosted me verbally after seeing us out together. She was very intoxicated and we've never even made mention of the incident to her before now. Because of her chronic disruptive behavior, my husband has asked that I take over the minimal communication that would involve any urgent schedule changes. She says if I contact her again she will take legal action against me for harassment. We are just very tired of the constant dramatics she seemingly thrives on. We would just like for me to handle any very minimal communication regarding schedule changes. In the most mature and peaceful fashion possible. Will I be able to do that with out fear of being charged with harassment?

You need to get a family law attorney to assist. You will continue to have these problems until a Judge says what is ok and what is not.
