Do judge’s ever over look felony convictions?
Part of our custody disagreement is my ex-wife’s new husband had a felony 10 years ago, for evading and weapon possession. Just last year with his ex-wife, he had domestic assault with bodily injury. My kids are not coming home frightened because items are getting broken and they are screaming and yelling in front of the kids. He has a pretty extensive background from 1997-2001, then again in 2010 will a judge look past this? She knew nothing about it, she constantly has the kids around strange men, including a sex offender. They met online and met face to face 6 months later when he was moving in.
She is seeking full custody after 5 years of very limited involvement and unpaid child support.
