Q: Ex-Husband is angry because a boyfriend was introduced to the kids. He is now threatening me via continual texts etc.
A: If the relationship is stable with your boyfriend and he is a suitable individual, it is ok to introduce him to your children. Sometimes there is an objection as to the boyfriend due to details about his past or present which may raise legitimate concerns, but you have not indicated that he has any issues. Also, sometimes there is a situation where the children and boyfriend do not interact well or the children are having problems adjusting to changes since the divorce and could include your boyfriend's introduction. However, if the children are doing well and enjoy being around your boyfriend, then former husband is unjustified. If ex-husband is making threats -what kind of threats are they? Do they involve your safety or well-being or that of the children ? You may need an abuse protection order if so.
