Hello everyone and anybody that can help. Okay to the problem... I have a 7 year old daughter who is in DFACs ( Department of family and children services) custody. They gave me a case plan; which I have completed. One part of it was to get a background check for my fiancé and myself. I have a few tickets but nothing serious, he on the other hand has a felony. "obtaining property under false pretence" was the actual charge. He served 2 years roughly 5 years ago. We've been together for 3 years and plan to get married next year. I just NEED to know will his felonies affect the Georgia courts from placing my daughter back in my custody? :confused:

Should consult lawer but my friend went through kind of the same thing in Arkansas. The courts made them get married said it was an unwholsome environment. They do dig and am afraid this may be problem for you. However consult legal advise on this matter don't want to risk your daughter over this.

I can't imagine that DFACs is going to like your choice of mate. You don't say why your daughter was taken away, so its hard to judge for sure. But I think it would be held against you.

I have worked with the courts, and some can even depend in GA from the rual area to the Fulton county larger city area. Should not be it does.

But yes, it most likely will be an issue and they will look much closer on this.

This all very discouraging... here's the story, I was a student living in tax credit housing (as long as your are working, a student and a single parent you can receive rent based on your income) I let my younger brother come and stay with me because my Mother kicked him out. I was evicted because he was not on my lease. My mother refused to let us live with her, why? Your guess is as good as mine, so rather than take my daughter floating across the city with me I let her stay with a friend of the family who filed FALSE paperwork to obtain custody of my daughter we later found out it was for money. After nearly two years of fighting that case I finally won! The courts finally found out that she was lying after she forged documents from the court to my daughters school. She's sense been arrested, causing my daughter to go into DFACs custody, In the beginning of the case I was very unwilly to cooperate and angry that no one believed me so the courts look badly on my not wanting to cooperate. They recommended that because my daughter has been out of my care for so long that I complete a case plan which I've done. I love my daughter dearly and she is talking this whole thing like a champ, she's strong but it's weighing very heavily on me. I am soooo worried that all the work I've done will be in vain because I'm in love. My fiancé has two children from a previous marriage and is a great father. He made a mistake several years ago that could cost me my daughter now. I'm completely confused should I leave him? I really believe he is the man I should spend the rest of my life with but without my daughter I fear I won't have much of a life. My daughters father is hateful and mean he beat me up very badly once and that was the end of our relationship. He's NEVER paid any child support, NEVER attended one visit, and could care less about our daughter. I just want to be happy is it possible to get my daughter back without giving up my fiancé. He goes to every visit, family therapy court date and my daughter adores him. I have never had anybody in my life, not even my mother, who takes care of me the way he does. Somebody PLEASE help me.

My recommendation would be to table your relationship. You should be concentrating on getting your daughter back and establishing your family. If your fiancé truly loves you, he will understand and be willing to wait.
