Need some advice


What is the name of your state? PA
I have a friend who is currently going through a divorce, he and his soon ex have an 8 year old daughter together and she has a 13 year old son from a previous marriage. My friend considers the boy as his own, since he has helped raise him since the age of 4. she had an affair almost 2 years ago and filed for divorce, has not signed the papers yet and they have about 7 months before it will automatically go before a judge, which then she will have to sign. He began dating someone almost a year ago. They had to deal with alot of garbage from the soon ex wife, she would not allow him to see the children if he was with the girlfriend. Then all of a sudden he broke things off with the girlfriend stating that he needs to do this in order to see his children, I'm assuming that was her demand. This past weekend the soon to be ex began staying at his house with the kids, unfortunately for him he lives across the street from her mother, which is where she was staying when she left him. He claims that he will do whatever he has to do to make her sign the papers. If his attorney would find out about this is there any legal ramifications resulting from his improper actions?

His improper actions were what? Breaking up with someone and having his kids and STBX stay at his house?

What do you think the odds are that the OP and the ex-girlfriend are one in the same?

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
