If you’re divorced, and you don’t address any ‘roommate’ issues in some kind of agreement, then he doesn’t have to consult with you at all about whom he lives with. I know it’s frustrating. My ex moved in with his now wife before they got married. Fortunately, she was good to my kids. He didn’t consult with me-but I didn’t expect him to either. Unless the kids are being neglected or abused, your ex’s roommates are his to choose-I believe.
Dear baseballmom:
Greetings. ASK HIM! If he does not answer, then write him a letter and work through it. You have the right to know anything (within reason) that affects your children. Thank you and good luck.
