Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Custodian's right to live with someone

As for the violence and property damage, no action can justify that sort of behavior. I suggest that you report the incidents to law enforcement and hopefully a proer investigation will get to the bottom of that behavior. As for your daughter's right to choose, she would have an absolute right once she turns 14. Until then she would have to go to visitation in accordance with the decree. Children at that age have a hard time with visitation and hopefully as the primary custodian you will be able to give her a lot of love an support in the transistion. Unfortunately, you can not make her fahter to be a good parent. Visitation is his time to spend with her as he sees fit, which would include the time he has to allow your daughter to spend with his parents. As for the issue of you living with another person, he could take you to court. It is not per se grounds to change custody, but there are some very reputable psychologists that say that a penten living with another person who is not the spouse can be harmful to the child's well being. What you really need to avoid is multiple attachements for the child. You also need to be careful just who you live with and check that person out very throughly. Background checks and all. You don't just have your safety to worry about any more and you never know these days.
