Kenner, LA asked in Child Custody for Georgia

Q: Me and my ex husband share 50/50 will I lose custody over this

Me and my ex husband share 50/50 custody of our daughter. One week on one week off. In my time when my daughter is with her dad, I see a man that has never met my daughter and my ex has hired a pi to obtain a background check on him. Well he had a prior family violence charge that got dropped to domestic violence. Will that cause me to lose custody of my daughter?

A: Given what you described, you probably wouldn't lose custody. Your ex would have to prove harm to your daughter. If your current boyfriend has never met her nor harmed you, there is no danger to her.
