What does your court order on custody and visitation say? That's what you follow. If there is any form of physical abuse, and you are not making police reports and pursuing action, it's hard to understand why. He has no ability to violate the existing order unless you decide to permit him to do so. Your kids deserve you and he to abide by the orders, or seek new ones.

Whether the decree prohibits you from having overnight guests with your children there or not, many judges would frown on it. Your best bet would be avoid giving your ex anything to complain about. Meet with an attorney to discuss specifics about your decree and what is going on now. It may be a good idea to enter into a common law marriage, you can have a party later.

You need to worry more about what a Judge would say about you having your boyfriend at your home overnight with two grade school children there. Abide by your Divorce Decree. Avoid doing anything to make a Judge think you are not doing what is in the best interest of the children and take your children away from you. The children are your top priority. Don't think that you can convince a Judge that what you are doing is okay just because you love your kids and are a good mom or that the circumstances are special. Don't think that the Judge is your friend. Protect yourself and your kids. If your ex physically abuses you, call the police.
