I am having problems with my ex as I have started a new relationship and want her to be part of my children's lives but my ex is unhappy that she stays over when I have my children. Any advice would be a great help. Thanks
Hi There.
.
This is quite common, we hear this story a lot, your ex doesn't have any say on who you see when you have the children with you, if you have a private agreement on seeing your children, then you would need to discuss this with your ex and possibly attend mediation to try and resolve the conflict, if you have a court order for contact then you could apply for an enforcement order based on her not allowing you to see the children if you are also seeing your partner.
.
I think that as long as common sense is being used then there shouldn't be any reason why your children shouldn't meet your new partner, so as long as you have been seeing this new partner for some time rather than maybe a few weeks, then your ex doesn't really have much of a complaint.
.
What is your ex saying will happen if you do allow the children to meet your new partner?
.
If she is saying she will stop contact then you first step to get that sorted (should it happen) would again be mediation, if that failed or your ex wouldn't attend then you would have to apply to court for help.
