Answer 1

OMG yes you have the right! This babysitter could be anyone. I would be furious

Answer 2

He doesn't have to tell you anything but, you have the right to know.  If you are having problems, take him back to court and ask for supervised visits.

Answer 3

legally, no.

morally, yes.

parents are not obligated to report in there every whereabouts or every move etc to the other parent. any judge will tell you that is time w/the other parent, unless there is danger or harm, it is none of your business. and the judge will tell you if you feel your daughter is harms way, contact the police, otherwise stay out of how the other parent runs their home.

sorry but it is what it is.

Answer 4

OF COURSE YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO KNOW WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIER SAFE AND HE HAS NO RIGHT TO TRYand STOP YOU FROM KNOWING AND HE IS MAKING IT SEEM LIKE HE IS DOING SOMETHING THAT HE DOSENT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT SO CHECK UP ON THAT

Answer 5

I would most certainitly worry. I would call a private investagater and tell him/her to find out. Also this so called babysitter could be a new girl friend of his

Answer 6

I think you absolutely have the right to know who is caring for your children in your absence if it isn't the father.  I don't know what the legal issues with that are but your ex should definitely let you know what is going on.

Answer 7

if you have full custody you have every legal right to know who is watching your kids!

Answer 8

You have full custody, which means that you are entitled to know EVERYTHING (and even if you don't have full custody, you are entitled to know WHO your children are with).  If you have given him guardianship while on vacation, he still must provide you with the names of any persons watching your children if he is NOT with the children as well.  If you leave your children in the "protection" of another adult, they do not have the right to give "protection" to another adult without your consent.  Just because you left them with their father does not mean that he can leave them with a babysitter (or anyone else- including his family) without your consent.

Answer 9

Ya see I am kinda a smart a** and I would so do the same thing to him when he called me and don't let him get away with doing that to you!!!  LOL

Answer 10

Then you don't have sole custody you have shared legal custody otherwise you wouldn't have to tell him sh*t. Sounds like you're being to easy onhim sharing all your info when he probably could care less. if you're so concerned about it stop leaving your kids with him for that long.

Answer 11

Legally I don't think he has to tell you. But as a fellow parent I agree with you. He needs to have the respect of telling you. I would just mention something to the guardian litem and see what they say. I think he actually has to tell them who she is with. Plus they can give you some peace of mind because they will check it out. (If your little one doesn't have a GL then I'd seriously think about having the court assign her one.) My aunt went threw a custody battle with her 2 boys and that was the best thing that ever happened in the case. The GL has to make sure that the best interest of the child is being done.

Good Luck to you.

Answer 12

If you have sole custody you don't have to tell him anything and he does have to tell you everything!  If he can't respect that then he doesn't need to be in the equation.
