Does she get them, too? How can you be sure they aren't being introduced to "bad" things while with her? Forgive me, but I've forgotten your kids' ages. Mine are 4 and 6. I'm not so sure she isn't doing some sort of parental alienation. I'm hearing talk from the only family member of hers that is left on my side that her and her sister are up to something as far as the kids are concerned. That scares me.
Jeep,
Yes, my xW and I have the 50-50 split (one week on and one week off). However, I generally have them a little more that 50% and my percentage has been creeping up (I have a special clause in the mediation agreement).
My sons are 12 and 14 and they both have cell phones. They know what to do if anyone starts creating trouble; yell, scream, dial 911 and call daddy.
My xW knows the boundaries on the people she can have around the boys and she knows the end result if she exposes them to people that they shouldn't be around. If it's the OM; he's not walking away. If it's others, then I'll haul her @ss into court and she'll have to endure psychological testing. She's deathly afraid of psych testing.
Regarding parental alienation, my xW has spewed all sorts of stuff about me, but my sons are old enough to know that she's full of poopy so the disparaging remarks haven't had any real impact.
I'm lucky that my sons are old enough to figure things out.
