Can she do this???

My boyfriend's soon-to-be ex-wife had it stated in the court papers that I can not be around when he has visitation with his children. This was allowed because he missed the court date (his fault, he allowed her to tell him when court was instead of reading his papers). Anyway, the first weekend that visitation was to take place she needed a sitter and called me to see if I would watch them till the children's father got out of work. Not a problem. I agreed. Problem is whenever she gets mad at him she threatens to not lt him have the kids because I am here. I live with him! She hsn't actually followed through with threats but it drives me nuts. It has been four months and we have had the children every weekend. She has even put me a proxy at the children's Dr.s office. My question is because she broke her own court order can she go back on that order? Are all the terms she put in that order binding because she broke the order?

Forgot to tell you, it should be fairly easy to do this if you have the documentation. You should be able to file the papers on your own and it shouldn't require an attorney. Good luck to you, let me know if you have other questions. I have a friend who's an attorney and can get all the free advice I need. LOL!

Okay...first of all, you need to start documenting everything she does like this. Keep a journal and write down what she says, etc. Or you can just write it on a calendar. This is admisable in court. Then, go down to the courthouse and get the paperwork to fill out for custody. Just tell them that you want to modify your papers. I'm going through this with my granddaughter right now because her dad requested all kinds of visitation, which totally changes the amount of child support he has to pay, but 80% of the time he doesn't show up or he calls and has no gas to get her, etc. So I'm keeping record and we're gonna file papers to modify the visitation based on this history. You can do the same thing, and have it taken out that the kids can't be around you....make sure you write down all the times when she threatens you...But don't say anything to the kids or the ex about this....not about the documenting it or the papers. Cuz if you do, she'll change her behavior. Hope this helps! Take care.
