Can an ex husband determine how long you must wait when you have a boyfriend to introduce him to your kids?

I got a divorce. in the divorce decree it says parent must be in a committed relationship before introducing kids. I have not excessively introduced my kids to other people. This will be the second man. My ex husband is trying to say I cant bring him around for 6 months to a year and I refuse so he said he is bringing me to court. Does he have a leg to stand on? I am in a committed relationship

Please understand that this will all turn on the specific facts of the case: prior actions, age of children, etc., and it is hard to make that determination here without all of the information. What is a "committed relationship" differs from person to person and again, the facts of every case.  But if your ex is determined to make an issue about it and bring you to court then think about offering a compromise, for the sake of the children.  Perhaps start small and offer not having him stay over while the kids are there but allow outings and lunches, etc., outside the home.  Would he go for that?  Perhaps not ntroduce him as a boyfrined so that the kids don't get attached just in case.  Can he bring you to court? Yes.  What will be the outcome?  Crapshoot.  Best you decide between you than the court.  Good luck.
