The year waiting period is final and the mother has the boyfriend staying the weekends with them and also stay the weekends at his home in another state. The boyfriend and his wife are being investigated by the FBI for a variety of crimes. How far could the father take these issuses in the custody matters? The mother has full custody now. Does it matter now that the year is up but the divorce is not final ?
