    Default Soon-to-be-Ex Called Daddy by Other Woman's Kids

    I am in California.

    STBX and I have been separated since 9/07, which is when I found out that he was committing adultery w/his "she's just a friend" co-worker of 10 years. I kicked him out. In 2/08 we sold our family home and I moved into my own apt w/our 5yo daughter - he has three overnights each week w/her. He immediately moved down to LB to be near OW, then a year later, in 2/09, bought a house w/her and her 3yo and 8yo daughters. He had filed for divorce in 7/08. We have not finalized it - either he's dragging his feet or I'm dragging mine as neither one of us want to deal with it.

    He is wearing a wedding ring that she apparently gave to him. For all I know, they went to Vegas and got married. If so, is there anything I can do to help my case because he is committing bigamy?

    Also, he is telling our daughter that those girls are her sisters, and allowing them to call him Daddy -- which has got to be painful for her but she suppresses it to retain his love. As I have witnessed, if OW's kids are around and she wants a hug, he puts her down quickly in deference to them.

    I have read somewhere that a parent can take their ex-spouse to court if they allow a stepparent to be called Daddy or Mommy and/or otherwise usurp their parental role. Is that true? If so, I plan to tell OW's husband.

    Your speculation that he may be married isn't evidence of an actual marriage. He's moving on with his life, so I suggest that (if he won't) you get a move on with the divorce.

    If you believe your ex- is doing things that are not appropriate in relation to his parenting of your daughter, you can raise that during the divorce proceedings and seek a ruling from the judge. In terms of his new girlfriend's parenting of her own children, that's not your business.

    You need to leave those two alone. What she allows her children to call her boyfriend, or your husband is none of your business. Your business is to do what Mr. KIA said and finish the divorce so you can go on with your life like he's going on with his.

    The whole spiteful ex wife thing is not particularly attractive. Find another hobby.
