Engaged to be Re-Married- ex is filing for custody

I am engaged to be re-married.  my fiance is living in the house with me and my two minor children.  I just received papers from my ex's attorney that this is morally and legally wrong - and that he is filing to reverse custody of the children.  Am I legally in the wrong?   My children are happy about the upcoming marriage.  And both have stated that they do not want to have to live with there dad.  I am afraid that this is going to get very ugly and do not want my children put through another battle in court.  What do I do to avoid this getting even more ugly and harmful to the children?

My custody agreement actually has a line item about overnight stays by boyfriends or girlfriends.  It's not allowed if my son is present.

It is acually illegal , at least in VA to live together with someone besides your spouse with the children from your marriage. I would say your ex has grounds to get the kids. It is not looked upon well in the courts eyes. I say this because my boyfriends ex found out he had stayed overnight with the kids and a previous girlfirend. Not only did he lose his joint custody, visitation was at "her discretion" which is a complete joke but was also awarded 60 days in jail if he did not pay her legal fees within a certain amount of time. His separation agreement states( I am told they all do) that you cannot have your new love in the presence of the kids overnight. My advise is to separate your living quarters until you are married. It may already be too late. I wish you the best. Sometimes our legal system is a joke.

I hope your children arent playing on your emotions regarding your ex.  They  sense everything and if you are not wild about your ex they may be saying they dont want to live with their dad because you have an issue with them.  Just a thought
