Can I put into a custody agreement that I do not want my kids around my mother-in-laws new husband? She has left him and moved out by renting other places 2 times and went to a women's shelter at least that I know of once. Now this is her 3 time leaving and going back and she just told my husband that she is going to move back in with him for another 2 years so she can go to school and then will leave him. I don't want my kids around someone that she is not going to keep in her life, and her and my husband say has a drinking problem.
 
Probably not. Unless you can prove this man is a threat to the child then you cannot do much. Is this your current mother or law or ex mother in law? Are you and your husband getting a divorce? Grandma does not have to have any visits with the child at all unless you or your husband allows it.
 
We are still married but are thinking about it. The thing is when my mother-in-law left this last time her reason was that he had a drinking problem and that is what my husband has said also. He has been arrested for having a gun in a bar and drunk. My husband had to bail him out cause his mom would not. That was a few years ago. He has at least 3 D.W.I.'s that I know of with him not being able to drive at least once. The lastest things were (that my mother-in-law has told us, this is also what she is saying) that he has been drinking with another guy and they were swimming in a pool naked with my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law who is only 13 around, he was drinking with his brother and fell in a fire outside and had to go to the ER in the middle of the night and then the next day missed our daughter's baptism. He called my husband right when we were leaving for the church and told him that his mom was sleeping and he was not going to wake her up. He would not even let him talk to his mom. He had been drinking already that morning this was about noon on a sunday. There was a huge fight and my husband told his mom this is why we don't let them watch the kids. He told his mom that he is never going to change and he does not know why she is still with him. My husband does not like him and I don't know why he is fighting me on this. I do not think that his step dad is someone that our kids should be around. Know that we are in this fight he is sticking up for him, I am not sure why he and his mom would think that all of the stuff they tell me about this big mess I would feel comfortable letting our kids around him. This has been a big issue with us for the last 6 years.

You cannot block visits just because of the what if's, you must prove he is a danger to the child. You can tell your husband you do not want him around your child but he does not have to listen.
 
It's not that but you canot just make provisions on who can and cannot see them. You can certainly try to put that in the orders but I am sure your husband will not agree to it.
