I am in the process of a divorce, and today I went to my temporary orders hearing where I was granted visitation with my son who is 12, along with child support..etc. I had filed for the hearing due to my wife had been giving me a hard time about seeing my son. Anyway, there was a clause where I could not have any non-related females staying overnight during the times he would be with me. Does anyone know how strongly that is enforced? Not just saying this, but my situation is unique. It was well known that I was going to file for divorce about 5 years ago, I only remained in the relationship due to the age of my son, at the time. I purposely waited until he was 12. This has to do with my wife becoming a Jehovah's Witness years ago, which I was totally against. Aside from that, I do have another woman whom I am totally in love with and we desire to be together.
I do reside in Texas.
Any help would be appreciated.

There is a county by me that puts this in all new temp orders. Seeing how this judge works I wouldn't push it but I do not know how they would inforce it. These type of orders are just are impossible to prove intent. Unless someone is fallowing you around taking pictures or the kids are asked to be wittness's they just can't be proved. A total waist of time and stress for the kid. I have a real problem with these standing up in court. They do not define related and the perpose of them is sexual contect. What if the other parent decides they are gay. It happens all the time and I know several couples that broke up because of this. People can have a relationship and be very responcible around the kids on how they show there effections. Keep the courts out of the bedrooms.

I did! But I do not recommend it! When my ex left, he said he was staying with his family. We did not have temp orders, however the orig. divc petition HE filed stated no overnight with guests OR romantic involvmnt. My son went to stay overnight with "dad", and guess what? I caught him at the girlfriends! I went and took pictures of his car, recorded it and the next day had the police do a welfare check. They could not make my son leave, but I got it documented on a police report!!! I think I did it more b/c I was angry and hurt that he left us, and wanted to prove he was lying to me. The bigger issue is the lying, and what kind of example he is setting for his son- when he tells him to lie about where he is. I have the right to know where my child is!

My guess would be that it is more for when you have your kid. Would think that would be too confusing for your child to make sure that your visitation with your child isn't split between your attention to the new woman and him.

My court orders specified when I had custody no opposite sex overnight guest not related. It even defined overnight as something like between 10pm and 4am.
Same order said not to cuss in front of the kids and a bunch of other common sense items that probably 1/2 the parents will not do.
Wish I had the problem of needing to know if they enforce it or not......
