What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

My ex husband and I have not been getting along for the last few months, so his mother agreed to step in and be the go between until we could both cool down. My ex husband flipped his lid when he found out that I was living with another person who I am now married to. My ex mother in law demanded to know standard things like what his name is and what my son's sleeping arrangements are when he is here. That's not good enough now she wants to know how old he is, where he is from, where he grew up, and thinks that she has the right to meet him as well as my ex husband. I am waiting to talk to lawyer about that as well as other things, but I want to know what my ex husband's rights are as far as what I should have to tell him. His mother has always had a bit too much to do with his life, and kind of run's the show so to speak. My ex lives with his mother and for some reason thinks she should have some sort of rights, but I'm pretty sure that's not true. I don't think she has the right to interfere with our lives, including being a go between.

Does your court order state that you are ordered to provide your husband's info?

If not, then you don't have to answer any questions that you don't want to, unless the court orders you to.

Like the other poster said, unless you are court ordered to provide your ex information you are not required to do so.

You are never required to provide your ex mother in law any information at all. She is not a party to your court case and never will be.

The order only states that I have to notify them if I intend to move in with a sex offender, but they're trying to pull the moral card on me. I told her that I know I don't legal have to give any more info than I already have and she's now threatening to run a background check on him. I told her to go ahead, but she seems to think that the more she threatens she'll get a different response out of me. The thing is that she works for a Dallas county criminal judge and says she has friends who will run a background check for her. I want to make it clear to those of you reading that I have absolutely nothing to hide, nor have I ever done anything to give them a reason to think that I do. They think that my husband and I should be an open book to them.

This is crazy err!!!

NOT LEGAL ADVICE!!

BUT! :)))

What can it harm to let DAD (NOT MIL) know your husbands name? Perhaps, in the interest of your (you and Dad's) child, having a sit down with the new hubby would be a good step into a good co-parenting relationship.

Think about it...:)

How bout? What are my ex husband's rights as far as information I have to give about my new husband. :) Maybe you missed it. You should look again. :)
No. Questions end with question marks... those things that look like this ?????. If you look at your own post again, you made a series of statements. No where in there is a question mark, hence no where in there is a question.

I did let them know his name, now they want a family history. I would have no problem with that if my exhusband wasn't a psycho and my new husband actually wanted to meet him. He's not one for drama and wants to remain out of the mix. I do understand where you're are going with this, but I know my ex and know that his is not capable of being an adult about it. That's why we're in this situation to begin with.
