You need to consider what you would want to happen if it were the other way round, and you were introducing your new partner to your

children and your former husband was upset, you may not wish him to object and encourage your son to do so. Your son at 10 is at an age where he can start to say what he feels about contact and what he wants to happen. He can express to his dad that he doesn’t yet want to meet his new partner. As he gets older he can start to say when he wants to and does not want to see his Dad and for how long. Ultimately if his Dad forces something on him now, it may affect their future relationship. However you also have to bear in mind that the Court, if they were involved are likely to take the view that children need to get used to change and to accept, to a certain extent what both parents consider is best, even when they don’t always like it. Thank you for your question.
