You can (and should) have the Family Court address these issues as soon as possible. Typically, the Court will restrain both parents from having overnight boyfriends/girlfriends when the children are present. Also, if you have custody, then she can't take the children away, and if you have visitation it can make it more difficult for her.

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. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
