Stepmoms trying to take over
How can I stop my exhusband's new wife from interfering with my responsibilities as a mom. I have primary of joint custody. She is filling out important school forms as if she is the mom. Even writing her own name as if I am not here. Deciding for herself which phone numbers to write on forms, changing emergency contact info also, there is so much she does that she is not suppose to. I have gone to the school and spoke with the teachers showing them the court ordered papers that the children are with me during school week, that there dad is to take custody after school Friday. That she is not to fill out, sign, change any forms, dismiss my children from school early, etc. I have told my ex to have her stop, but she is continuing. What can I do?? PLEASE help for the last thing she did is sign up as a champerone for a field trip that she thinks she beat me to fill out. Knowing that I will go to this trip, and how we do not get along, that would make my 7 year old very very uncomfortable as to which he should stick by on this trip. HOW DO I STOP HER??

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
Based on what you stated, you might have to go to court and get the judge to order her to stop interferring with your responsibilities as the primary residential parent. The court may have to do this in the way of warning the husband that he will lose his parental rights if his new wife continues to interfere. It seems as if nothing short of a court order will work, and maybe not even that. Good luck.
