Background:
domicle NJ: My ex-wife and I have been divorced 13+ yrs. She is presently married to her 2nd husband.
We have 3 children ages 20, 17 & 15 all living with me (father). I have primary custody of the minors; the oldest has chosen to live with me.
Issue:
My ex-wife wants to move out of her marital home and move in to my home as a boarder/ tenant etc. To be blunt our relationship is civil but I do not trust her. I am considering allowing her to move in on the basis of a legally binding arrangement that gives her the fewest rights in the event her presence is disruptive and I must ask her to leave. I am sole owner of my property.
Personal pros/cons: my children are better supervised w/ both parents; the children are happier if their (mother) parent is less stressed; I travel for work ergo live in domestic help
I don’t trust my ex; her presence may be disruptive to me & kids; her personal entanglements (marriage)/issues could create problems.
Question:
What effect does this have on my rights as the "custodial" parent if any? Aside from looking into real estate law and having my head examined for even considering this arrangement please share any other thoughts, any other concerns that leap to mind. Feel free to be blunt. Thx.
