WxH just sent me an email saying that he is thinking about going on vacation with OW and her child6. He asked if he could take our son if they got a 2 bedroom condo and he (xh) sleeps with our son.
What would you all do? Our divorce agreement states no overnights when someone of the opposite sex is present.

I would say absolutely no. If your divorce agreement says that you don't have to allow overnights when someone of the opposite sex is present, then you are completely within your rights to refuse this request.

A member of the opposite sex in the same condo is "present".
The answer is NO.

Yes and in this case giving me what I wanted as regards custody and visitation kept his OW(s) from being subpoened. Glad to hear you all agree with me....I have no intention of letting him go. Just wanted to see if I am being reasonable. Question though...why do I need a lawyer letter over this? I intend to reply via email and calmly reference our divorce agreement on this issue. Won't that be enough?

Because, if your XWH is a complete idjut (never put it past them to be as dumb as rocks) ... he might decide to do it anyway, irregardless of your written objection.
If you have a "lawyer letter" he's a lot less likely to violate the agreement, IMO.
But, it's up to you and your best judgment.

Watch XWH like a hawk. Does your son know he can call you if he is ever placed in an "overnight" situation with OW present?

Yes he does know he can call me. Trouble is ds10 LIKES her and her son. Gag. Hard to be the grown up sometimes.

I agree with Pep. Getting it a LEGAL letter makes it seem more SCARY. XH may decide to do it anyways but at least you have your ducks in a row.

Absolutely not but also make sure that XWH does not manipulate your son and say that he wanted to take him but the evil Mom would not let him go and have fun.
If he wants to commit to his son then he needs to take him on a vacation one on one not to cater to the whims of the OW.

SW, so sorry for your pain. I'd suggest you: 1. Not get on this slippery slope--if one overnight is OK, then why not every time? 2. Not set a precedent that the judge's order is "flexible." Make it clear to DS that this is NOT your decision, it's the judge's. You don't violate what the judge said and neither should XH. The order was placed there because the judge thought it was in his best interest. Period. You're not spoiling his fun, you're obeying the law. Then go take him somewhere that week when XH is out on vacation with his new family.

Ok, can someone help me word my answer?
You guys always think of the best way to put things.
I have typed out. 'No. That will not be possible due to the terms you agreed to in our divorce.'
Ideas?

XH, As you agreed in our D, and what is best for our son is no overnights with any member of the opposite sex.
If you would like to spend time with your son maybe you can do a father-son weekend that you can devote to him.
Please enjoy your vacation. Just think now you don't have to pay for 2 rooms. <evil smile>
