Dear lindsey:

I am not sure that I understand first example: are you saying that the ex lied and told you that parents are not allowed at the party because he didn’t want you to attend the party, but in truth parents/ families were allowed, and he attended the party with his girlfriend and her son?

Regarding the second, recent example, isn’t the custody spelled out in legal papers by the court, including who gets to have the kids when one is on vacation, and whether one of the parents can leave the kids with one’s boyfriend/ girlfriend over night?
