Are you referring to the other biological parent being jealous of the stepparent?

Yes, I think most of us here deal or have dealt with that on some level.

If she's violating the custody order, call the police and file a report. Call your lawyer and file a motion to show cause for violation; using the police report as your evidence.

While you may think this seems extreme, if the ex is jealous and/or unstable, it is the best and most effective way to stop the behaviors now. Trying to talk or reason with her may be helpful, but is usually pointless.

Police could care less about a visitation violation but I suppose they would allow you to fill out a complaint form just to get rid of you.

But the idea is correct, strict observation of the order of visitation with not a minute leeway either way. Ask no favors, grand no favors. If the order is violated then the visitation parent's attorney is to write a letter to the custodial parent warning that further violations will result in a criminal finding.

If s/he violates the order unreasonably then you have a disinterested witness and no your new spouse is not disintrested. Your sibling or parent might do the trick but its best to have a non-family person. Then with witness in hand you petition the court to find your ex in criminal violation of a court order.

Give nor ask no quarter and follow the order to the minute and expect the same. Once the BM stops being an ass about it then everyone can ease up and act like normal people. (Assuming she ever does become normal).
