No overnight guest clause

[nythng4mygrl]

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

If an order has a clause that says "No Overnight Visitors of the Opposite Sex other than Spouse or Blood Relative", what time does it start? I have been told 12 midnight the guest would have to leave and not be allowed until 6 am, and I have been told that if it is a school night guest would have to leave before child goes to bed. Is there a time limit or law? Thanks!!

Oh for God's sake, why not just not let them in the house AT ALL if your kids are home???? Really, it's not that hard.

Are you getting divorced or what?
That clause is a trap for both parties to spend many years in court.
Cross that clause out of it before it is too late.
Later if it becomes an issue, then deal with it.
The courts are swamp enough with important issues. No need for squables over what time Santa showed up on Christmas eve....

Just my opinion.

Really? Cause honestly, I could say that IF a no cohabitation order were in my CO, I'd have 14 years of no problems at all.... because I don't entertain men at my house when my kid is home. Easy peasy. Seems like common sense to me.

I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh! How many times, in one form or the other, has this question been asked just tonight?

Seriously, in the last 5 threads tonight, 3 of them are on this topic!

I didn't mean to be the blunt of your jokes. I am asking because my ex sent me an email that my boyfriend has to be gone by 8 oclock because of the clause. My girl goes to bed for 8:30 and I saw no harm in finishing up the movie that we were watching. He was gone by 9:30. I agree with him not spending the night while my daughter is here and he has no problem with that either. My point was that he is trying to set times, and that is not in our order, so I am asking if there are specific times? Never mind.

Ignore your ex.

That is what you should have explained in your first post.

Your ex cannot dictate that, AT ALL. Ignore him. If he tried to take you to court for contempt because your boyfriend didn't leave until 9:30 the judge would laugh at him.
