As discussed in the previous divorce article "When Should Divorced Dads Introduce The New Girlfriend?" mental health professionals agree the best practice is to wait before introducing someone new to your kids.

But when the time comes to introduce a new partner, experts agree divorced dads can create the best meeting place by choosing a neutral location and a short activity with a definitive end.

Nancy Fagan, divorce consultant and owner of San Diego's Divorce Help Clinic, encourages fathers to discuss with their children who they will be meeting. Afterwards, let the kids explain how they feel.

Question:

My ex-wife has primary physical custody of my 13 and 10 year old children. Every once in a while I have to travel for my job. I always offer to "trade" evenings if the travel falls on my visitation; however, my ex-wife is no longer happy with this remedy and demands that my current wife fill-in. My wife and I have tried to be flexible but since there are three other children involved it doesn't always allow for my wife to have all five children and get them to their evening activities, homework, etc. My question is, since my ex-wife has primary physical custody does this mandate that if I give her ample notice of my travel plans that she is the one who needs to care for my two oldest children?

Answer:

It depends on your court order. If your court order does not state the remedy in this situation, then I think you are the obligated parent to make sure that your children are cared for in your absence as it is your time and therefore your responsibility.
