To give you a little insight into the stuff I've seen in my state (and will be including in my parenting plan), it basically lays out the terms under which a new relationship can be introduced to your children.

Mine will basically state that neither of us can introduce our son to a new bf/gf until we have been with that person for a year - and the clock doesn't start ticking until the divorce is final.

It will further state that neither of us may have overnight guests of the relationship sort while S7 is in the house until and unless we are married to them.

Both of these timeframes are in line with those recommended by family therapists who specialise in divorce.

I'm sure my H thinks I'm insisting on it to "punish" him and make things hard with his OW, but that's just indicative of the fog that he's in - I just want what's best for S7.
