Tuscaloosa, AL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Alabama

Q: Can my kids father take her from me if I’m dating someone with a dv3 harassment charge? Even if the charges were dropped

My child’s father and I are going to court soon so he can get visitation. I’ve never kept her from him but we just want legal papers with our agreement terms. I recently started dating someone that was arrested three years ago for DV3 Harassment but those charges were dropped. If my child’s father wanted to push the issue, could he take her from me because of that ?

A: It is not something that is "cut and dried" but evidence of violence on the part of your live in boyfriend will certainly go against you.
