Is there already a custody agreement in place? Is your ex a convicted sex offender?
Is a court ordered custody agreement in place?
>Is it possible to specify in a custody arrangement that my daughter’s room and BED are hers, or at least the bed? And not to have random people I don’t know sleeping in it?
You can ask, but usually the “on duty” parent makes these judgment calls. The judge may or may not allow you to dictate what happens during his parenting time.
>my ex is a pedophile and has sexually assaulted kids in the 10-13 age range at multiple times in his life. So I am also worried for this woman’s kids, but my priority is my daughter’s safety. Is there any legal recourse for this situation?
Has he been convicted? Has this been brought up in family court before? Was this already considered when he was granted overnights?
Why did the court gave custody to a sex offender ?
Is he a registered sex offender ?
You need to answer the question about conviction vs accusation of CSA on minors. It can greatly change how this is handled.Â
As a male, who had to spend almost 20k to get 50/50 custody of my children, fighting the courts for months and months, who has absolutely no criminal history and a nice place to live with a well paying job, there is something shockingly wrong with what you have said.
Your ex, if a convicted pedophile, would not in a million years have any overnight custody of this child from a court or unsupervised visits. Which means, you either don’t have a custody agreement (if that’s the case why are you sending your daughter to a known pedophile) or you are lying.
I hope you are not lying because you can really damage someone’s life permanently saying that.
NAL, but it is possible to get a custody agreement where she gets a room to herself. You need a lawyer yesterday.
Also, why is his girlfriend sleeping in your girl’s room? That seems super strange.Â
Just playing devils advocate, since you’re just dodging real questions for validation, does your daughter sleep with you and your husband? It’s kind of the same thing, from the other perspective.
Wait. I’m sorry, what? Your ex husband is a pedophile and has custody of your kid?
God people are so mean. I’m sorry this is happening to you! Maybe try to get a new lawyer and say everything and find out. I understand you caring for those boys too. It’s your mother instinct. I know you probably can’t but maybe see if you can attempt to bring this up to him.
All states have laws about opposite sex siblings sharing a bedroom. I know someone who lives in Kentucky that said it’s the law a child can’t share a bedroom with a parent after age 3. I’d imagine there is a certain age that non sibling opposite sex kids can’t share a bedroom. Maybe you can check with legal aid or a lawyer would be willing to chat with you pro bono.

Generally you do not get a say about what the other parent does during their parenting time. Which means it is unlikely that you can do anything. Possibly calling CPS might do something, but this is not abuse or neglect, so much as just not having enough beds for everyone. You do need to be careful about calling them though, if you call often you might be labeled as a nuisance caller, and may not be taken seriously if your ex does sexually abuse your daughter. That being said, maybe just ask them if your daughter being forced to sleep on the floor, because your ex’s gf’s son took her bed, counts as abuse. Concentrate on that, not on a woman you haven’t met and her two son’s being in the house. They will not care about that, they may or may not care about them sharing a room, but they will not care that these 3 are around your child.
Also call your local fire hall. Find out if there is a limit to how many people are allowed to live in a house/apartment where he lives. Where I live we are limited to two people per room, so 5 in a 2 bedroom is a violation of local laws. That might be a roundabout way to not have to send your daughter there.
This can’t be real
So did you know he was a pedo before or after you had a child? And if your daughter is sleeping on the floor why didn’t you immediately have the agreement amended?
Call cps on him, half of this they’re not allowed to do. Also in Kentucky, if that helps.
I don’t know the specifics of your state but in NJ, This could be a CPS call, they would provide beds for the two other children and see if other services are deemed necessary. If your ex-husband has a history of SA of a minor they deem the case nessesary for services and may ask him to complete an assessment. This seems like a tough situation. The psychologist states that SA is likely again this may suspend visitation temporarily, while the case is open.
All calls are anonymous in NJ, and every adult is a mandated reporter; this varies by state.
