Yes there is. 9 and 11 are too young to be left unattended at night. OP can ask to add this to the custody agreement. [/quote]

In Maryland the rule is 8 to be left home alone.  And it's not like he's leaving them overnight.  
It's not a parenting decision I would make, but it's not illegal and I can't imagine a court changing custody agreements because of it.[/quote]

He is actively choosing NOT to parent on his parenting time, and on top of that, leave very young kids unattended regularly until 10 pm on a school night for half his custody days.  You best believe his lawyer would tell him to take a demand letter requesting a reduction in custody time based on his self-evident disinterest in parenting VERY seriously. This isn’t a case of different parenting styles or even disagreement on how to handle a serious issue like mental health therapies. It’s a parent who quite simply … is not there. I’m not saying this is some kind of easy slam dunk or denying the risk, but it is a VERY bad look for the dad. [/quote]

DP.  It actually IS simply a case of different parenting styles.  If you want full control over how your kids are parented every day you need to think about that BEFORE you divorce.[/quote]
