My boyfriends x-wife has sent him to jail 4 times for worthless checks, whenever a sherriff would come to there house with a summons she never answered the door and she would always throw the door hangers away, he would be arrested at work,he finally leaves her.He was put on 18 mos supervised probation and had to pay almost 18K for checks and fees. Well he wanted to work things out for his daughters sake, so they started going to counseling. 1 month after counseling she moves 2 hrs away with her new boyfriend that he knew nothing about. Well needless to say she has done the same thing to this one but she has cost him over $100k but he did something that my boyfriiend should have done, It has turned all of the checks and everything else over to the courts, she has 42 simple worthless checks, 18 felonies which include obtaining property under false pretense and forgery and uttering. We have been told she will go to prison for awhile. She has been arrested 15 times, on top of this she has been evicted 2 times in the past 6 mos, she has no heat in the house because the gas company has locked the box for non-payment. This is the thing I am scared the courts will not give him custody because we are cohabitating, I dont want to do anything that will cost him his daughter. Is there a chance the judge could say that he is also unstable?? Even tho we has lived together for 2 1/2 yrs. Desperate for some answers!!
The mere fact that you are living together will not have an impact on his ability to get custody. The court is going to look at the best interest of the child. If the mother is in jail then she is unable to care for him and if you can prove you can provide a safe and loving environment to the children then there is a good chance you will be given custody.

My boyfriend of 3 yrs is trying to get custody of his daughter. Her mom has kept her from him for 3 yrs, she is in alot of trouble and is facing prison for 3 to 7 yrs? We have been living together for 2 1/2 yrs can this hurt his case by us not being married?
