My husband's ex-wife told us that she will no longer let his kids visit us if he and I have a baby. They have joint custody, but due to the fact that we live in North Carolina and she lives in Montana, we don't see them much. Can she do this?

No. She is not dictator supreme ove everybody's reproductive habits. Have a baby, have twelve!
Is she still hung up on the hubby and a bit jealous that its not her womb that will be reproducing? Any lawyer in the world would take on this case with relish and put her in her place.

This is something that the two of you need to discus, because it pertains to your husbands legal battle concerning his kids...He will have to get a lawyer if he doesn't already have one..
This however is a little to close to home, I am from montana.
Have the two of you thought about moving so that you are closer to the kids that this is concerning, so that visitation is a little easier on the kids and the two of you.
He also needs to make sure that if there are any child support issues or anything that the two of you are abiding by them so that the other woman doesn't have anything to hold against him.
Have either of you accually talked to his ex-wife, and possibly able to calm her fears that he may not pay as much or the needed attention to the kids he already has before this new baby comes into your lifes.
Put yourself in her shoes and see how you would feel over this situation...
good luck

I do not know where to begin...Having shared a similar experience with my children being split between to parents and f at the the time I am writing this, I am going through legal issues. Take this person back to court, if this should happen. Visitation/ custody will always be granted to a parent, no matter what state they live in. This mother is jealous and keeping drama because there might be another child and also she is "controlling you household, you can have a child if you "want" too.

Have your baby first.
When your baby grows up, the other kids are big enough to visit on their own.
Long-distance custody does not work. Your husband needs to recognize it. Use the telephone rather than flying over.
The kids prefer guidance rather than personal contact (once or twice a year is sufficient) since they are more interested in friends of their age group.

Read the divorce decree. I doubt seriously she can deny him access. I have full-custody and my rights are limited. Wake up your honey. Go grab a cup of Jo and act immediately by reading over the divorce papers and listing your questions. Then come back and post your questions.
Good luck. I can relate to the emotional termoil these issues can bring.

I dont think so because the divorce agreement says that they have joint custody and she has to let him see his kids or ya'll can take her back to court for failure to comply with a court ordered visitation rights.

If they share custody she can not legally keep your husband from seeing the children. And besides that is very selfish and stupid of her to even say something like that.

Wait for her to try and then call the cops, she'll be in violation of a court order. Would make it nice and easy for you if you wanted to gain custody.

She may just be worried that if you and your husband have a baby he won't have as much time for his kids. Talk to her about it. I doubt she can do it but you should try to understand from her point of view. She also needs to understand it through your point of view.

No. She's just a jealous, selfish ex-wife who is being very unreasonable. If she causes problems take her to court, they'll straighten her out.
