Can I stop my ex-wife from bringing her boyfriend along when she drops the kids off for my portion of the week?
We received our finalized divorce papers 3 weeks ago. The second week she brought her boyfriend to where I live to drop the children off. I think she might be trying to instigate something because she knows that this would bother me. I do not think she has the right to disclose my address to her boyfriend’s. Waving her boyfriend in my face gets my time with kids started out on a sour note and that’s not fair to them. Also, what if she continues to do it knowing it bothers me and I flip out one or a fight breaks out in front of the children. I don’t want that.

You are quite reasonable in thinking this and for your children's safety, you want to make sure this person doesn't do something criminal. Be proactive and do background searches if you need to but at the outset, take your ex wife back to court and see if you can amend the order so that she is prohibited from bringing this person to your place of residence and that you make sure your children are safe.
