Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
I was falsely accused of sexual assault over a year ago. The investigation has been closed with no charges. Now a year later my fianc�'s child's father wants to use this as a reason to keep us from living together. We have been together 2+ years and the child has lived with us together over a year prior to this incident. Can he use my accusation as a reason?

Yes, he can bring this incident to the court's attention in a custody battle, especially in that there were allegations made, there was an investigation, and you were not acquitted or found not guilty, and the court will be looking at the best interest of the child.
However, the court will have the opportunity to look at many other factors, meaning the good ones on your side, and that is what your wife's attorney will need to bring forward.
If he files suit, your wife will need to hire a good family law attorney or custody lawyer to support her in her legal decision making and parenting time custody right and to defend against his actions and accusations made. She probably should hire one now that he is making threats, so that the attorney can get up to speed on the case.
