Ex Lets 19 yr old Boyfriend sleep over with minor child?
Question: Is this an issue for CPS? My ex is letting my 16 yr old daughters 19 yr old boyfriend sleep supposedly on the couch, every night he is not working. Supposedly he has a poor home life, but I don't care. I am a bit peeved. Is this an issue I can/should take up with CPS, or should I just drop it and accept it?

I suggest you get to know this guy better yourself, your daughter is sixteen and if she and her boyfriend want to have sex they will find a place to do it, don't even consider getting cps involved in your familes life over a situation like this. You need to talk with your daughter her boyfriend and your ex, I have a 17 yr old daughter and I have stressed to her all her life that I'm her mom, love her unconditionally, will always try to help her and will never yell at her when she messes up and it worked as when she needs me she tells me everything and asks for my help and opinions, at this age you have to carefully choose your battles and how you fight them or you risk her running straight into a boys arms and possibly make bad choices, invite open conversation without judgement and listen,listen and listen.

is your ex a good father? or is this to do with you and your ex not you and your daughter?
You need to be a mother and have a sexual discussion with your daughter and expect her eyes to roll and her whinges to include MUmmmm I know all of this..lol but you as a mother will say that love and sex are not always connected and you want her to have a full and happy life and know exactly what to do.
Make sure she can always talk to you and tell her no matter what happens in her life, she must be strong enough and sure enough of your love that she won't ever be scared to say she is in trouble.
Also make sure she knows about the day after pill, and that it isn't to be used all of the time.
but if your ex is not a good father, why is your daughter living with him/?

Your her father and if you feel uncomfortable with the situation, you have every right to do what you feel is appropriate to remedy the situation. However, the fact that the kid is being allowed to be in the home overnight isn't a crime. There is no way to prove mom is allowing them to share a room. So CSD is probably not an option. I would contact your divorce attorney to find out if you have any recourse.
Good luck!

not much you can do when child is at other parents home.ALl you can do is hope for the best and pray,and hope the discussions you have had with the child in the past will pay off..The only way something could happen is that oyur daughter complains the overage guy did something to her, or she comes up preggo... then the law qill take over and put him in jail/

i think of that 19 is the right age on your daughter to make her own judgements. If she became sixteen or 17 and in extreme college you ought to intervene greater. although, if she quite loves him, you're able to desire to enable her do what she needs. additionally, your husband is sounding somewhat too overprotective and controlling. The nearer you retain your newborn, the greater rebellious they'll grow to be. tell your husband to enable her pass somewhat and she or he will probably make the solid judgements.

Get your nose out of his business. It's your ex, it's his decision, his home, don't interfere. They seem to have a legit reason, he's doing the right thing. Either way, you're out of line here.
