Is it OK for a mother or father of a child to be introducing different partners to a child?
Not if they've only just met. It can be a traumatic experience for a child in a separation to be introduced to their parent(s) potential new partner(s). The relationship should run at least three months to see if there is a future, before introducing the new partner to a child.
It's also important to remember that legally when it's Part 1 who has the child, Part 2 can not dictate who the child is allowed to see. And the other way around. Moving on and introducing new partners is a part of life.
