Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Co parenting with hostile ex
My ex spouse had an affair for two years with a co worker. This woman felt the need to shove the affair in my face and taunt my children in order to ensure a divorce. yes she got what she wanted I couldn't take her harassmet of my kids and myself. Now she is interrupting any attempt to co parent with my ex husband. She is trying to force my son to call her ''mom'' although they are not married, and be her aprtner in parenting classes.
I know beyond doubt my son loves me, but I also know he feels intense pressure from his da to ''bond'' with the girlfriend. I try to call my son, she takes awy the phone, and has even changed phone numbers, so that when my boy is with his dad I cannot call them at all. needless to say we're back in court, because the girlfriend can't handle my ex spouse and I co parenting my son.
Any advice on how to handle co parenting when the ex's partner is hostile would be most appreciated.

You may need some love and affection orders from the court that deals with this issues.
Re: Co parenting with hostile ex
It is unclear what courts have jurisdiction in the matter that you have presented. I am going to guess that it is a TX case because of the language (Co parenting is not a commonly used expression in WA family law). If this is a WA case let me know either by reposting or contacting me directly. In WA you can get a restraining order if you can support your position on her continuing interference in the parental relationship.

In all probability, you can't do anything about the girlfriend's behavior. The only one who has any power over her is your ex and it doesn't sound like he has the backbone or desire to do it.
