Visitation - McKinney,TX

Yes, it can be addressed.
My ex isn't allowed at my house anymore because me being nice about it wasn't working. He either started a fight or tried to grab me and kiss me, neither of which were appropriate, so we agreed on a neutral pick up and drop off close by. That way, exchanges were kept very short and brief and it was much easier on the kids. My ex didn't like it, but it was granted because I was able to show that it would benefit the children.
I have a friend who is a single mom and she not only pays child support, but provides all transportation and NO ONE but her is allowed to go along for pick ups and drop offs. It's in their orders and she complies.

Best wishes.

Yes just choose a place like a fast food parking lot or grocery store parking lot. Until you go back to court just tell him you aren't going to be home and he can meet you.

Absolutely! My daughter's father and I were never married, yet he filed for "shared parenting" and visitation which the court agreed to his stipulation that my fiance was not allowed to be the person receiving or dropping off my daughter and we live together (go figure). I think that if you address the fact that you don't want every woman he dates to come to your house with him, the court will more than likely honor your request- it is definitely not too much to ask for...

absolutely. surely you guys can decide on another place without a big ol expensive legal fight. something like that should really be taken care of just the two of you.

Our parenting plan says "recieving parent to pick up". Since we had an ex that started to refuse to bring my step daughter home. We had TONS of stuff addressed. Go over your current paperwork and make sure it has times on everything too, like Christmas day from 8am til 5pm, etc. If not, make sure you get everything updated at once. Once the judge rules, it's hard to go back and have one little thing changed. Good luck!

Some cities have classes for co-parenting available. If you could get the judge to order that, or perhaps some court-ordered parental counseling, maybe he could be convinced by a third party that this is bad for his children. (It will have to be for BOTH of you, though. But, you can sit through it for the purpose of getting HIM there.)

A class or counselor will teach that one of the cardinal rules of divorced parenting is to shield the kids from your dating relationships until it's clear that someone is going to stick around for a long time. Also, when a parent is limited to two weekends a month and a weekly evening, it shouldn't be shared with new girlfriends. There are plenty of other days of the week for dating. However, unless your ex agrees, there is probably not much that the judge will do about that. You may be able to get a restriction from having anyone sleepover while the kids are there, unless they get married.

I have heard of judges ordering that any girlfriends/boyfriends must first pass a background check before being with the children, and that is too costly and embarrassing to inflict on short-term honeys, assuming they are still around long enough for the results to come back!

If you are honest with yourself, you'll probably realize that the thing that is troubling you isn't that his girlfriends know where you live (a simple google search can give them your address). It must feel awkward and humiliating to have him bring a girlfriend with him to pick up your children. You may have legitimate concerns about how your children will be affected by even meeting girlfriends, much less sharing their visitation time with them. the tricky thing is approaching this topic without coming off as jealous. He probably did this just to push your buttons, so don't make it fun for him, and remember that your children will get the fallout.

Let us know how things play out. Divorce stinks for everyone involved, doesn't it?

Yes, you can address this, but as a suggestion to keep in the back of your mind, make sure it's somewhere close to where you live and be specific. With the grand daughter that we are raising, we use the child's school parking lot. It's public and it's close to our house. That way, if he ever moves, I won't be required to travel to him.

Of course it can be addressed. Remember that pickup could change to another location though. I do not see what it should be an issue - you can also get it where he can't have a sleepover gf when the kids are there but it will be both ways....good luck!!

Have you discussed this issue with your ex? If he doesn't understand and accept your reasoning it may not do much good to have it in the court order. He can always drive by your house with his current girl friend to show her where his kids live or just because. I suggest you start by asking him to keep your address private.
