writes:I am asking this question on behalf of my boyfriend. My bf and his ex wife have a custody agreement over there 3 year old daughter. Now she has been withholding information from him. She has physical custody and a joint legal custody. She is threatening to take him to court for harassment which is false. And he has been wanting to take her to court from withholding info and for sole custody because she is dating a sex offender. Now she brings her daughter around him which is a parole violation for him. Now what he is wanting to know is if he takes her to court about this issue is there a possibility he could get full custody and she will get in trouble for bringing their daughter around a sex offender? All questions would be appreciated! Thank you so much

If they don't have a legal parenting plan in place, then they need to set one up so if she violates that he has some recourse.
I have been in your shoes as the girlfriend, my advice to you is to "stay out of this", let him fight his own battles, you don't need the stress and your advice and help won't be appreciated when it all goes wrong as these things frequently do.
Your boyfriend really should be reporting the sex offender to the police for being around his child....he can pick up the phone and call the cops just as easily as any one else. My guess is he doesn't want to because he is afraid of the power struggle between his ex and him.
My advice to you is to find another boyfriend without all this baggage of a crazy ex and legal battles over the three year old. These two have major issues and are a problem pair...this is never going to change...is this the life you had in mind for yourself?

Tell him to get a lawyer, and listen to what the lawyer has to say. The sex offender is breaking the law, and it's more than clear that his ex wife has something wrong with her if she's letting her child near a sex offender. Get a lawyer, get to court ASAP. And since the sex offender isn't allowed around kids, report him as well.

 Hi. Your partner needs to speak to his solicitor/lawyer and follow his legal advice. If his daughter is at risk, he needs to do that immediately. In my opinion no child should be within hailing distance of a sex offender. If the offender is violating his parole by being around the little girl, then report him to the police.

Could he really cope with full custody of a 3 yr old ? That's a hell of a responsibility and constraint on freedom of movement.
Can he afford child care when he is at work or for someone to take her to and from school ?
Be careful what you wish for ? 'm sorry for the kid : I reckon she is being used as a pawn for this pair's still unresolved issues.
I'm sorry
