It's the sleep part that is most troublesome.
Have you ever noticed all the posts here from guys who worry about the Ex-wife's new boyfriend "sleeping over" - how all the morality clauses are about overnight guests? In the imagination of these folks, the molester is getting out of bed (not waking the other party), sneaking into the childs room (not waking the other party), and getting all molest-ey in the dark of the night (still not waking the other party). It's part of the myth of molestation, that somehow it only happens at night and nobody else ever wakes up to the molester roaming around the house.
I will suggest that your NJ is smart enough to attack your weakest areas - in this case your night job. You better start introducing "Plan B" into everything you consider, like this night job as a source of income for your schooling. Nothing you do can rest solely on a single element - like this job - you should be looking for alternatives to everything - like this job.
I hope you will take the time to sit with Jim, eyeball-to-eyeball, and tell him what you have told us about his character. Tell him he's a hero in your world, then seek his advice, and include him in your planning discussions. What does he say?
I could easily be in Jim's shoes, I'm old enough, and I would run (not walk) if my new GMILF son's nutjob ex-wife threw this out there. *poof*
