Q: My Husband recently (about a week) moved in with one of his mistresses after cheating on me for more than 10 years.
He moved out on July 28th and asked me today to get the kids for the weekend. My kids are pretty young (10, 8 and 15months) and I don't want him to take them over to any of his mistresses house for fear of their safety. What can I do in this case? We have no legal custody.
A: Until the father has established custody and parenting time, he does not have a right to custody and parenting time. With that being said, you should be considerate in making yourself look like the reasonable person in this situation as to best prepare yourself in the event a proceeding does occur. This particular situation is difficult to advise on without knowing more. I might suggest the collaborative law process, however, that would be case-dependent and I do not know enough about your particular situation.
