What to do if my ex-husband has a girlfriend living with him who is an alcoholic and has received two OWI convictions within the last year or so?
She has no license and I’ve warned my children not to get in a car with her, but my ex has told the children I’m just lying and jealous and his girlfriend is not a drunk driver. He then told me to “mind my own business”. The children have told me she has her car there and does drive it as well as my ex-husband’s vehicle. I looked on the DMV website and she does not even qualify for an occupational license. How do I keep her from driving my children around when they visit? He also leaves her alone with the children when they visit if he is out and I don’t like that either. Do I have any recourse?

Given your legitimate concerns as to the safety of your children when they are with their father and his apparent desire to not want to discuss the matter, you should confer with a family law attorney about the filing of a custody modification and visitation order for the children's safety where the father must have a third party adult who is trusted to supervise any visitation between the children and the father.
