Also, the father has shown little or no interest until the new wife came into the picture.

If there is no prohibition against the father bringing third parties to school conferences, then he will certainly be allowed to do so. It sounds as though the mother is over-reaching and trying to micro-manage the father's interaction with and access to the child.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
