It seems to me that I've seen references here to divorce decrees and separation agreements that legally prevent the ws/xs from cohabiting and from having overnight visits by the op. I am being asked to do my x's attorney's job and write my own modification order so I'd like some references to the appropriate legalese. Any suggestions? Email is ok if anybody prefers, but a note here that you sent email would be appreciated.<p>Thanks all!

I, too, have heard tale of such a thing, but my attorney assures me that it happens rarely--if ever. I guess that unless there's blatant abuse or obvious reason to believe there's a physical threat to the children, it's just one of those unfortunate "deal with it" situations. No effective legal recourse. Now it may very well depend on the state (I'm in PA) and almost certainly depends on the judge.<p>As for me, I have learned (for the most part) to rely on God. I don't trust my ex, I certainly don't trust the OW, but I believe I can trust God to keep my children safe from harm. And the moral and emotional issues I just deal with as best I can without defaming their father's character.<p>Sorry I couldn't offer anything really useful here. Be well.

Well, I'm determined to be one of those rare cases if at all possible. Thanks for your reply!
