Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
ex's new girlfriend harassment
My ex-husband's girlfriend is constantly in our business. She has even called our son's school claiming to be me on one occasion. Basically if him and I decide something in regards to our son, he will talk to her and then change his mind based on what she tells him to do. He makes no decisions on his own and I wonder what I can do about her interference in our lives. We have joint custody and I am deciding whether or not to get full custody since he's not making the parenting decisions for our son, SHE is. Is there anything I can legally do to keep her out of our business?

Re: ex's new girlfriend harassment
Practically speaking, there is little you can do. What it sounds like your ex is doing is making decisions based largely on what his girlfriend tells him, which is not improper, just annoying to you. If his decisions are harmful to the child, that is a different story of course. If you feel it is in the best interest of the child for you to have full custody, then go that route. But he will still likely have rights to help decide things about the child's life, like school and so on.
If there are more facts that you originally presented, feel free to let me know.
