[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe the people who are saying never.  Even if you don't have/want any kind of relationship with your ex, presumably your kids still do.  If the kids will be meeting the new SO, the ex should know that because they are in a position to parent regarding this issue.  The kids may have feelings on the new SO that they are not comfortable sharing with the involved parent but may want to discuss with the ex (who is, after all, their other parent and should know about major events in their child's life).[/quote]

If your kids want to talk to you about ex's SO- then they will bring it up to you.  That really has nothing to do or makes it all necessary for your ex to talk to YOU about their SO.  If your kids don't mention the SO to you, then you shouldn't bring it up either.  They likely
don't want to talk to you about it.  My mother would always ask me probing questions about.  
my dad and his dating life/SO and it was the worst.  [/quote]

+1. My kids don’t talk to me about the women my ex dates and I don’t care who he dates. I was surprised to read that people have these morality clauses in their divorces and their ex spouses agreed to it. I’m an attorney and I never would’ve agreed to it. I’d see it as another way for my ex to try to control my life after divorce. [/quote]

I don't understand how morality clause would work.  What if you develop a new strictly platonic friendship with someone, even of the opposite sex?  So you can't introduce your kids to your new friend? If there are no displays of intimate affection (or overnight stays) between people in front of the kids, how would the kids even know?[/quote]
