Q: Can a temporary protection order be filed by individual with temporary custody of child involved in Georgia dfacs ?
Father issued tpo today, he has lived with ex girlfriend and her mother last 4 years. The mother had custody but got in trouble, arrested for meth and dfacs granted her mom temporary custody. His ex was injured 6 weeks ago and her mom has been out of town leaving my grandson with one her neighbors. She wants to evict my son, get him arrested for child abuse. And claims he is buying meth from same drug dealer as her daughter. Less than a month ago, she told me my son was doing good, helping alot with his son and being there for him. I have a text with that info. Also have text from another individual that recently talked to her stating my sons always there for his son and nothing negative. She has never made any claim of child abuse or drug abuse until she found out he was looking for attorney to get custody of his son. Now he is homeless because sheriff said he had to vacate residence even though his son isn’t there nor his other grandma
A: Unfortunately, without knowing more facts on the basis for the TPO, we can't advise on the strength of the TPO. Her only having temporary custody would not be a restriction to filing a TPO.
