Their father and I are divorced. I'm remarried. He isn't. I really worry that I can't rely on his family to even contact me in a timely manner in an emergency. I'm sure they would eventually get around to it but I really don't seem them as thinking it's top priority.

In my case, it would be his wife, who I know would immediately contact me (if our son was with him). If ds and I were hurt, my husband would be contacted, and he would certainly contact my ex right away.

Definitely on our end, DH would definitely call my EX first if anything were to go wrong with the kids. I would imagine that if children's father were to get re-married, it would be the same thing.

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I'll look at getting some luggage tags for all the carseats and do up some cards for our wallets. I'll also check to make sure that my phone number is clear who I am in EX's cell phone and I'll change mine so the name that shows up under "Favorites" is more clear. His would be easier to find as he is under my Favorites and the kids have the same last name.
