Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

What to do? My ex's girlfriend now recent wife is awfully cruel to my son. She says mean thinsg and makes him cry. My ex stands back and says nothing and at times will join in. She shouts at him to hang up on me when he calls which is nto often and on the cell phone I bought for him and tells him if your mother comes your not to go out and see her. I am very very afraid she might do something to hurt my son. He is 12 and my ex is also not the biolgical father but signed the birth certificate and my son's bio dad is deceased. When my ex spends time alone with him I feel at ease and the child is happy but when she is around there is no telling what will happen. She resents this child for taking her time away from her new husband and for him not being the biological son. She interferrs with co-parenting and will not let us speak when she is there so my ex either whispers, goes outside or calls back when she is not around. How can I protect the child and yet have my ex still have a healthy relationship with my son? Help afraid for my son.

In order to address any parenting/co-parenting issues you would have to file a Complaint in the appropriate County Family and Probate court and have the matter decided by a Judge if you and your ex were unable to make an agreement.
