He is not trustworthy due to things he's done through the years. He is named as the PR in her Will only because he bullied her into it and is the oldest. I do know that she tried to make her Will specific and made sure that her estate would be divided equally between her four children

No. The Mother does not have the right to prevent you from having parenting time with the child simply because the two of you had an argument.

He is threatening to take me to court and "change" things. (My interpretation is that he wants to see if he can get physical custody changed to him. He is also repeatedly texting and calling me and will not stop.

If your boyfriend has no prior history which would make it unsafe for the children to be around him, then the fact that you introduced him to the children will not constitute a material and substantial change in circumstances warranting any modification of your parenting plan. I suggest you speak... View More
I have stayed home and taken care of our two small kids. Only work part time. Everything is in his name.
