That's interesting you got that put in the decree. I never thought of it and the lawyer never mentioned anything. I've looked at the sex offender database and don't see anything there, so there's that at least...
Doesn't have to be sex offender. The OM in my case was arrested for child endangerment...although the ex made every excuse for him. I also had put in ours that no one that had anything child-related is not to be around our kids. Period. She didn't like that, but she signed it anyway because I held all the cards. So, you see, there are many different things that can be worded. I did it for the kids protection - not to piss off the ex, although that was a nice side affect.
Also, and I'm sure the ex won't ever do this, but when she was a young child her mom let many "boyfriends" stay over...and unfortunately, some of these "boyfriends" took their turns on the ex and her sister. That's another reason I put as many protections as I could in there. My lawyer was great and added some of his own.

I am concerned with the kids. I've built a great relationship with them and I think they'd talk to me if something was bothering them. It could be them just being teenagers or pre-teens and me over analyzing.
Possible. But then again, we never thought our exes would do what they did, did we?
If I were you, I'd have a talk with your lawyer. People should not be staying overnight with your kids there. PERIOD.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
