My question involves a child custody case from the State of: MN
Hello. My questions involves the Step-mom. She has been step-mom for two years now. I want to attend a school activity with my child and have some one-on-one time if EX won't be there. It is on my parenting day. We (ex and I) have joint 50/50 custody. The Ex says if step-mom wants to attend, she can attend (even if HE will not be there). I am always involved in school activities with my child. I allowed step mom to attend a few functions in the past but it caused some issues. So now, I am requesting she not attend. Ex says she can attend whether he is there or not. I can see her wanting to attend or I would say it was ok IF I was not able to go, but I am able to go. Also, since she has her own children (one at the same school) I do not know why she wouldn't want to be attending these functions with that child. I understand we have blended families, but shouldn't
EX and Step-mom respect my wishes for me to spend the time during a school activity with just my child? Or is step mom legally able to go to these activities against my wishes? I would not bring a third party if my ex requested against it?
Thank you for your time.
