Your question is unclear. If you are asking whether the childs mother can have a dispute over your new gf and her relationship to your son. I don't see how that should be a problem, since it is very common for divorced and separated parents to develop new relationships and the child develops expanded relationships. On the other hand if there is an objection due to some problem that harms the childs health safety and welfare, then the court could examine that and the court would have a reason to intervene. You should ask the mother on what grounds she has an objection to the new gf.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
