Hello, I understand, and the court understands, your concerns. However, if your ex will assure you that his girlfriend's past is her past and you can point to nothing other than the past conviction; i.e., neither you nor the kids have seen any evidence of drug usage....then its very doubtful that the court will restrict your ex's parenting time so as to keep him from having the kids around his girlfriend. Another issue: Especially if the kids are young, if your ex brings new women into his life regularly, and involves the children with several different people...that is something the court might find is inappropriate and in that instance the court might act to protect the children.
