1) Should my current children take the surname of my new spouse for consistency in our blended family? Consistency for whom? Even if you have decided you have no connection to your ex or allegiance to him or her, you cannot expect your children to toss him or her out like yesterday’s garbage. You have to give your children an identity with their original family. I vote “no.”
2) How does a stepparent affect the parenting time of either parent? Unless the stepparent is a threat to the safety of the children, the presence of a stepparent doesn’t change the parenting time schedule at all, unless you both choose to.
3) Can a third party who hasn’t conceived or adopted a child have any visitation rights? The way we push away some people who enrich our kids’ lives because of our own arrogance and insecurity, while the law turns a blind eye, is shameful. Divorcing people need to love their kids more than they hate their in-laws. Preserve your kids’ relationships with their family even when those folks aren’t your family anymore.
4) Does a parent have any recourse if the new spouse does objectionable things? You can write a divorce agreement as long as the Encyclopedia Britannica if you want. Anything that you’re reasonably concerned about can be in a divorce agreement and should apply equally to both parents. If the questionable parent knows that restrictions aren’t specifically targeting him or her, he or she will usually comply with them.
