If you believe that the convicted felon boyfriend of your "ex" is a bad influence around your children and do not want him around them, you have the following options:
1. have a face to face meeting with your "ex" requesting that the felon not be around your children;
2. if the above does not resolve the issue, file a petition with the family law court seeking an order that your "ex" not have the felon around your children;
3. if the felon has engaged in improper and threatening behavior as to your children, seek a retraining order against him.
I suggest that a family law attorney be consulted with options # 2 and # 3.
