An Attempt at Consistency Is No Crime

Summary


Question: The woman I've been dating for several months allows her ex-husband into her home at least once a week to visit their 7- year-old son. Their divorce was final last year, and he lives about two hours from them. She sometimes has dinner with him and their son. She's also in college, and he helps out by watching their son (at her home) while she does an internship. She's refused my help, instead relying on him. I, too, am divorced but don't allow my ex into my home for visits while our kids are with me. Is this acceptable ex behavior?

Answer: Based on where she is in regard to the divorce -- yes. It sounds as if her divorce was amicable; and she could have a designated amount of time to become self-supporting before her ex- husband is no longer responsible for spousal support. They're co- parenting, so he's doing his best to be supportive, plus cut expenses by watching their son while she works. This helps her become self-supporting, plus it gives him extra time with his child.
