Re: my daughters feelings where hurt!

This is very demeaning behavior for the child and shows a lack of judgment on the part of your ex-husband and girlfriend. The problem is, it may be difficult to prove without your daughter's testimony and may put her in an uncomfortable position with your ex and his girlfriend. With their maturity level, they may punish her for mentioning it to you. You can file a motion before the judge to restrict visitation with the girlfriend present but have to make that judgment whether it is worth it or not. William S. Stern
