Ok, I'll try to keep this simple. My wife and I have been married for 13 years. We have two girls together. It has been a Rollor coaster marriage. We have both had affairs, one of mine ended with my wife contracting a curable STD. This happend 2 years ago. We separated in November of 2015. Roughly 5 months ago. We both started dating shortly after the separation. We were sharing split custody during the first couple of months, before things started getting bad between us. I have dated a couple women since we separated. I did introduce my kids to one of them as my friend. We maintained our distance. No holding hands or any of that. I have full custody of my 16 yo daughter. I tried to help her mom out for a little while, and let her stay with me. We did end up being intimate a couple of times. But she stayed away from me when my little girls were around because I didn't want them to be confused. She only stayed with me for about 4 weeks till I kicked her out. Because I didn't want her around my 16 yo. That's a long story. But she is gone.
My wife, soon to be ex. Started dating this guy about 3 weeks after we split up. A couple weeks later I had finally found out his last name. When I googled his name I found him in channel 5 news being accused of being a scam artist in the DFW area. I immediately demanded that my wife not let him around my kids. She agreed at first. But a week later he was back. To sum up the past few months. She has moved him in her apartment. He apparently gets mad when I call to talk to the kids. He gets her phone and blocks my number. He text me a pic of them kissing. He has tried to get me to meet him to fight. I filed divorce papers and my attorney out in the papers for a permanent injunction that he not be allowed around the kids. Then the guy sends me a audio recording of them having sex. Telling me "that's how to do it". My ex keeps telling me she's sorry but she can't control him. She says they are breaking up. But then they are always back together. Now the latest. My ex told me over the phone because she won't text me because then I would have proof. She told me she has to keep him around because she can't afford it on her own. They bought furniture together. And he's helping pay for the lawyer.
About a month ago I was so upset over all this with him. I took a 8 month transfer to houston. I felt as if I was having a nervous breakdown. She's trying to say I abandoned the kids. I can't keep paying my lawyer for this. It is unfair. But if I give in. This guy will be around forever. What is a guy supposed to do. And if I do continue to fight. Will the judge even do anything about this guy. Or is my wife right, that I can't keep him away from the kids.
