So, now OW says she doesn't want me alone w/OC. She found out I was with OC while OC was sleeping while H went to son's soccer game and again when H had to leave for work (he owns the businesss)an hour before his visit with OC was over while OC was sleeping. Does she have any legal recourse if we don't comply? I mean can she stop H from seeing OC if we don't make this happen? I am so fed up of course of her demands. I don't see the big deal. Her and I have never exchanged harsh words, she said herself that H said I was a good mother. She has said she appreciatsd my care and acceptance of OC. I don't think this is about me, it's about making H "responsible". By all accounts H has been responsible, but it's always just about what she wants. In the beginning she didn't want H alone w/OC if I wasn't there and H put her straight about that...he doesn't need supervised visitation. I think she's just mad about other things and trying to control the situation. In any event, can she really demand this legally?

Nope - she can't. Your H can choose to leave OC with anyone he wants as long as OC isn't in harms way. Your H has legal C right? Does it say anywhere in the parenting plan that she can demand that you not spend time alone with OC or anything of that sort? No, of course not. Document her outbursts of stupidity. If I were you also, I would keep a daily log of what the events of the day are when you have OC and anything said at drop off and pick up etc. Don't remember your story, but OW might just be realizing that your H isn't going to leave you and your M isn't going to fall apart as she hoping for. All was well when she thought that still might happen?
I say the majority of OW's are made from the variations of the same mold. Children in adult bodies. Very sad.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. I think she just wants him to be "inconvenienced". He works 2 or 3 half-days a week just so he can see OC, that's an inconvenience. And we would gladly have her more often if she would let us. I think she just has to find things to be mad at him about so he can continue to be the "bad guy".
