M 13 years seperated 1. H is still with OW. This is the OW that he was just friends with when he moved out. H never omitted to me or kids anything else. H had a birthday party for our 2 sons (2 and 6) on Saturday. It is bad enough that he had her and her 3 year old at the party, but 6 year old told me that she babysat them while daddy went to wash clothes. Daddy told 6 year old that if he and his brother went with him, they would have to stay in the car and it takes a while to wash and dry clothes. It makes me sick to think that she touched my baby. I think he had to pick up birthday supplies and did not want the bother of taking the kids. (we all know it is faster without kids). My feeling is if you want to be a single parent then be one. Husband knows that I do not want the trash around my kids and has been really good about not having them around her. Is there anything I can do leally?? Maybe I should consult my attorney. H did file for divorce, but he has 1 more year to go, because at this time I refuse to sign. He is an alcholic and in la la land. Just needed to vent, any opinions/suggestions welcome.

Hi stillinluv,<P>Don't let my screen name fool ya on this one... It is outrageous that you have to have your kids tangled up in the middle of all this drama. My heart goes out to them! And I don't know how you can prevent these types of visits without a court order in place stating that because of H's alcohol abuse, he is not to have unsupervised visitation?! That would be the only way to prevent the kids being left alone with OW that I can think of at this point? That is, IF the court would allow visitation, considering your description of H?!!

Call your attorney ASAP, find out if you have legal options to keep her away until after the divorce is final. Judges have been known to agree to keeping the children away from any romantic interest until after the divorce because it is not in the interest of children suffering their parents breakup to be confused by new people entering their family life.<P>------------------<BR><I>Pain is a given, misery is optional.</I>
