I’m looking for some advice. My son’s dad moved in with a new girlfriend after just two weeks of knowing her. I’m feeling uneasy about my 4-year-old son sharing a bed with her 1-year-old daughter. I know they’re young, but it just feels odd to me. Am I overthinking this? Also, this new girlfriend has two other kids in state custody. Should I be worried about that? Do you think I should go to court and get a formal custody agreement?
You should definitely go to court and get a formal custody agreement, regardless of this situation. Plus, it’s worth asking why her other kids are in state custody. That could give you grounds for more custody if there’s a concerning situation.
It’s weird, but probably not something a court would act on. Still, getting a custody agreement is a good idea for peace of mind.
It definitely feels strange. A 4-year-old can sleep on an adult mattress, but a 1-year-old shouldn’t be sharing a bed like that. Just seems risky, you know?
