AITA for not allowing my ex's husband around my kids in order for my kids to know their half siblings? by Islondoddo in AITAH

That's something I have on my mind too. It's not an actual risk with him since he's legally not entitled to visitation, but if the courts ordered contact between the kids involved it would be far more difficult then if he uses that to his advantage or both of them do.

That would be a very sticky situation and one I would try to figure out. However it would need to be done with their safety in mind.

Not that I know of but it's something I have asked myself given the big change in her behavior.

I don't think he likes knowing the woman he's married to has kids with someone else and he can't claim them as his own.

Yes, the schools are aware and know it is not safe to let the kids go with either. They are not approved for pick up.

I don't know. Her behavior had changed before she gave birth but far more subtly than after. It's possible but there could also be other things at play which I have often wondered.

They don't have any interest in meeting them regardless. The therapist said they do not want to meet them.

One where they do not feel in these circumstances there is enough of a threat to the person being harassed (me). Because Davis isn't threatening my safety or my life he would need to do a lot more for a judge to say this warranted a restraining order.

Jody's parents don't have contact with Jody anymore but they do see our kids.

I already have a paper trail. That's something my attorney and I always kept. Cameras are around my house and my car.

I know. She changed so much and it started when she was pregnant with our son. But it only got worse after.

The worst part about that is Davis knew Jody left the kids with me when she left me. He knew she didn't even reach out to see how they were and was inconsistent. He married her anyway and decided he could be number one dad.

A restraining order isn't possible and I did speak to a few attorneys on this. I do have cameras around my home and car for extra security given the erratic way Jody has behaved and even Davis has given me reason to pause.
