Run my friend.

Run away real fast.

The new guy isn't working out, and she is looking for a new meal ticket.

Tell her asking you for favors ended when the relationship did. If she is trying to use you as a mediator between her and her new guy, she probably ought to be thinking about why she is with him...

It confuses me why she would think you would be able to help her, or even why you would want to... Are you a Therapist or something? Are you friends with both of them or is she just calling out of the blue? Have you been giving her advice on other stuff since you broke up?

If she is calling him by your name then he is doing something that reminds her of you, good or bad I do not know. It seems like there is more to the story that we do not know...

Tell her that she lost the privilege to ask for favors when the relationship ended. I am gettting divorced and my soon to be ex(although we share a child) asked me for a favor my reaction would be REALLY? She obviously can;t handle a relationship and for some reason thinks you can fix it. Which is nuts. If you were that guy how would you feel if your g/f's ex was trying to mediate. Makes no sense man. none.

Then I would guess she is trying to fall back to someone she feels comfortable with, this is thin ice area...I would be very careful. I would say to stay out of it, there is no way it will be good for you. Either you will make her mad or make her new guy mad at you for butting in (even though she asked). Hopefully you are not looking for anything to start back up with her...That is a whole different can of worms...

I don't know why you broke up, wheater her choice , or yours but sounds like you have some unfinished business or you would not have asked the question or neither woud she.

Since a few people actually get back together but only a very few last with any happiness I would probably say stick with the original decision to split.

If there is a reasonable modicum of civility I would refer her to counseling; which it sounds like she needs. Especially if a kid is involved. If it works out it is a rebound relationship one session with someone bound by confidentiality which you clearly do not offer (poor social skill to put out on dating site) would be much more in her interest.

I would tell her to deal with it on her own and keep you out of it.
