Complicated Stepmom situation
I am recently engaged to a great man with 2 kids & 1 adult kid. All of our kids get along great. I get along with all the kids as well. However, dealing with their mother is a different story. She has violent tendencies & is fairly unstable. We have the 2 youngest every other weekend. I takeg good care of them. Cooking & cleaning & being supportive emotionally. I love these kids & we get along great. After becoming engaged to their father the mother had me investigated and discovered I had a white collar crime conviction about 10 years ago. It was not drug related. No domestic violence or child issues. I've had a steady professional job for the last 10 years. The mother is now threatening to use that conviction against me to keep me away from the kids. I moved from AZ & currently live with their dad. I guess my question is - Can she legally keep me away from the kids because of a old conviction? I pose no threat to her children or society. She's just simply trying to make our lives miserable because she discovered this info....
HRNYC is right on this one.
HRNYC is right on this one. I'm assuming it was theft or fraud. Those are not valid reasons to withhold visitation.
Thanks y'all for the input!
Thanks y'all for the input! We work together raising these kids when they're with us! Their dad is hands on and deals with the ex wife. Us & the kids have never had a problem. Our only problem is the unstable ex wife.
BM is manipulating. You and
BM is manipulating. You and DH need to have zero tolerance for her crap. Confront it each and every time she tries it. Force her hand and drag her to court. See how she enjoys stammering in front of the Judge.
Congrats on your 10yrs of productive participation in society. I respect how you have responded to your criminal conviction. Few people seem able to learn from their mistakes and move on to a better place.
Have fun! }:)
