Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

My wife and I were both accused of domestic violence back in 2004. We took it to trial and the charges were dismissed WITH prejudice. Now presently my wife and I are supporting my sister and her 3 children. We have invited them into our home while my sister is going through a divorce and custody battle. Her husbands attorney has brought these 2004 charges against my wife and I as some sort of grounds for our home being unfit for the child in question with the custody battle. Is he even allowed to bring those charges to light in this case?

He should not be allowed to raise the charges, but if he does and the judge allows it, you only need to provide evidence that the charges were dismissed.
