I was wondering about my child and my X partners B/F and over night stays
I have shared custody of my child myself and my X live quite a long way away , I have !y child regularly am not in a relationship and have not been.
My X has had numerous partners and due to long distance i don't know if her partner either lives with her and parents as some have previously also if he lives by himself he has a older child , i don't know him and don't know if my child stays over at her partnes as we live so far apart , previously partners have lived with her and parents and one had a criminal record.
Is there a way of in court of knowing this as I ain't a clue who he is and what is his like. Am over my X now but get concerned if in any way it has a impact on my child they travel together to drop my child off amd and can be disturbing to see this when I don't know the person,
Any advice
Unless you know he presents a risk to your child, she doesn't have to disclose his identity to you.
You could try asking your ex about him, how he gets on with your child, that kind of thing. You could suggest that you all go for a coffee when they drop your child off, just to put your mind at rest and it's always good for the child to see all the adults in their life getting on.
Best of luck
