    if matter is still going thro courts ask for it to be requested in a court order. video phoning should be easy just buy a PAYG three mobile for your kids to use and you call them. Its easy for other party to say they cant use a webcam depending on how IT friendly they are.
    best of luck
  • Am trying to avoid court if I can help it, doesn't seem right taking her there somehow :(

    Stormshield - when my husband separated from his first wife, he spoke to his kids every day on the phone (they were 8 and 4 at the time). Your littlest one may be a bit young at the moment, but I'm sure the 4 year old would soon get the hang of it.

    Wishing you all the best - I've seen how this hits Dads.
