Recently divorced in Idaho. I have 1 son and he is with me 4 days a week, 3 with my ex. I receive no child support, spousal, I insure my son, etc. My ex does nothing other than have him the 3 days. He's recently moved to Nampa and lives with his girlfriend. I have asked numerous times to meet her because my son stays in her home. My ex says no and refuses to let me. He's in the Nat. Guard and will be going on travel starting next week and feels that he can just leave my son with his girlfriend. Since they are not married she has no rights to my son, that I do know but more importantly to me it's a safety issue. I'd like to know who my child is with. Do I have a legal right to keep my son at home? Can he be held accountable for child abandonment? Child endangerment? Etc...I'm trying to figure out where to go next because I am not comfortable with my child staying with a stranger!
Thanks for the assistance.

How long have they been living together? How old is your child? Does he say anything that this woman is hurting him or anything?

By law, you can't just stop visitation because of that, but if he isn't there..I would think that's another story..it's nice to know who your child is with also, but as a girlfriend, don't worry, she doesn't have any rights to your child, but also, I wouldn't send him over there if the father wasn't going to be there also, if he is away for the weekend for the National Guard, there is no point of sending him there to see his girlfriend, the visits are for the dad, why bother even getting him if you aren't going to be there, you know?

That was exactly my thought on it...if my ex is not around then my son should just stay home with me if he's not there to spend time with him. I guess I have only 1 option and that's to get a lawyer and duke it out in court. My ex is a game player...actually had the nerve to tell our son he only makes $100 a month and can't pay me support...as if my 8yr old really needs to be bothered with adult matters! Thanks for your feedback.

Your son sure doesn't need to know that stuff, I would definitely get a lawyer on this, and make sure the child is kept safe with you, there is no need to be giving the child to someone you don't know especially when he's not there, that's ridiculous. I wish you good luck on this!
