Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Ex-Wifes husband

My ex-wife and I had a lengthy divorce. We did not end up friends. Our relationship has never been confrontational, verbally or physically. Since seperating, another man has been in the picture for her. From the beginning he continues to get in the middle of our affairs and does not let her speak. I have asked repeatidly for him to stay away from me and speaking for her concerning our kids. They are married now but it is him who continues to drop off or pick up the kids (who's ever turn it is)and she will stay in the car or not come to her door. It is obvious that he and I are also not friends but this is our (her's and I) issue. What can I do to avoid having EVERY meeting a tense one?

Re: Ex-Wifes husband

Obviously your former spouse appears uncomfortable in these situations and is avoiding this by having her current spouse assist. He no doubt is reacting to her discomfort which is then something you must deal with. Therfore, I would suggest that you take the first step. Try to to maintain an attitude which sends the message that all of the hard feelings are behind you and what is important is the childern. In other words, move on. You will have to be the bigger person. Remember, the childern are the first concern. Do what you can not to allow them to be caught in the middle of the adult's problem. You will need to interact with their mother and step dad for some time to come. Try to make it easier for them, even if you have to swallow a little pride. Otherwise, an unfornuate situation may result landing all of you back in court.
