How long does a guy usually take to tell his ex-wife and kids that he has a girlfriend?
some guys never tell there wife and family unless they are planning to leave. If hes planning to leave in order not to hurt anyones feelings he shouldn't even say he has grl friend he should just say hes unhappy and wants out. But there is no awnser for how long it would take a guy to tell his family he has a grl friend.
IF your the grl friend and ur married boyfriend keeps telling you hes going to tell his family and is putting it off, chances are hes not going to. Decide for yourself ... if you still want to be with him regardless if he tels his family or not then u can take off any time limit and just be with him regardless maybe it will happen maybe it wont but in the mean time relax and keep your eyes open for someone else whos single and doesnt have to so much baggage.
If you will not be with him anymore unless he tells his family then give him an ultimateum. Set a date say to him if you don't tell your family by such and such date its over and u have to stick to it and mean it don't listen to his excuses.
Also think about this if he should leave his wife and kids to be w u, would you want to be with him for the rest of your life because you would owe him that for him leaving his family -and think about this could u really ever trust him. Think about wat he tells his wife to come and be with you ,, he prob says things like im goin to hang out w my friends or im working late and she believes him but you wont be able to. TRUST IS THE FOUNDATION OF ANY RELATIONSHIP WEN ITS BROKEN OR THERE IS NONE ITS NOT A RELATIONSHIP WORTH BEING IN.
How can I stop my child from seeing my ex's new family?
You haven't provided any reason for interfering with your ex-husband's new life. If the only reason is anger and a desire to make him miserable then forget it. You need to "get over it", and accept that your child is a member of another family now in addition to yours. Your request for advice reveals a problem on your side. Continuing to cause negative emotions associated with your prior relationship will only cause misery for everyone involved especially your child who now has more people who love and care about her.
Perhaps you should speak with a professional who can help you to move on. If you are causing problems for your child by trying to alienate her from her father and his new family, you could eventually lose custody.
Unfortunately, even those countries that are signers to the Hague Treaty on Child Custody, they do not honor it when it comes to father custody rights. This includes the US.

United States
This is a legal problem. In the United States there are laws and guidelines that govern domestic issues and no person must try to solve this type of problem on their own. The laws provide checks and balances to protect the legal rights of the individual from abuse by stronger individuals.
Since details about marital status or any existing court orders were not provided, the following is a brief general summary to help the mother plan a strategy to enforce her legal rights.
- An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until that status is modified by a court order. The father must establish his paternity through the family court and then obtain a court order to establish his custodial rights. He may petition for joint custody or sole legal and physical custody if he believes the child would be better off with him. The court will render a decision based on the evidence.
- If the parties are married then each has equal parental rights and the father has no right to keep the child from the mother without a court order.
- If the parents are divorced the father is keeping the child from his mother without the legal right to do so unless he has a court order that supports his actions. In this case, his keeping the child from the mother would be against the law.
The mother should contact an attorney or a legal advocate at the court immediately. She may be advised to request a restraining order and to have the child returned from the father's home. The state laws must be applied in this case and the court will render its decision based on those laws.
