If you get a divorce, and can prove that your hubby is gay, will the wife get full custody?

Question

I just asked a question about husband being gay earlier. But what I was wondering is if anyone knows that in a divorce in georgia is it ok to be gay? That is why i dont want to divorce my hubby because I dont want my 2 year old daughter to be alone with him. He is in some freaky things, and I dont want her to see her daddy with another man.

Answer 1

If you have concerns about your daughter's safety with her father those will have to be evaluated in court by a judge who will then fix a parenting plan. Those concerns need to be more than he is gay. There needs to be some showing of potential harm to the child. In most states the statutes and case law state that lifestyles of parents are not factors in custody decisions unless that lifestyle is damaging to the child.

If you file for divorce and you and he cannot agree on a visitation plan than most likely experts will have to be involved. In many states a custody evaluation will have to be performed. This also can include psychological work ups on the parents. A recommendation will then be given to the judge.

If you have hang-ups about your husband being gay - I would say seek counselling. The sooner you deal with the baggage you have about having been duped into a marriage with a gay man - the sooner you can help your child deal with the divorce and the issues that will bring up for her in the future. Remember, he will always be her dad and it is your job as her mother and as someone who loves her to help her have a healthy and loving relationship with him. It is also your job to keep her safe so if you do have safety concerns make sure someone in a position to help knows about them.

Good luck.

Answer 2

if you can contact a solicitor, or a lawyer, it is very important, you have a difficut situation, seek councelling.
try to relax for now, you are in insecurity, there is nothing wrong with your daughter knowing that her father uis Gay.
But yes, I understand you don't her to see her father with another man, and you have the right to be worried about that. Don't leave your child with him at all, keep her with you, find a part time job, provide your daughter with the right education and play, keep her in a positive environement, inform your family about your worries, they might help you go through it, maybe helpinf finacially amd giving more money so you can win the custody of your daughter.
your daughter still young but when she becomes a little bit older, she will get to see that in the real world, gays are partners and marry and they live a marriage and have a family.
so she is able to accep it but that doesn't mean to agree with thit, you only teach her your believe, she will understand that there are gays in this world, they are not a bad person , no they could be either bad or good, it depends what they do. sex is not life, but life is more than that, it is love for gays and strait people, love and acceptance will only make peace in her heart.

Answer 3

You and hubby will ALWAYS be the parents of the children. Always. That's a long time. So instead of figuring out how to hit each other with the kids, figure out how each of you can work with the other to make the kids life as good as possible. If you have a concern, ask him about it. Tell him what bothers you and ask him his thoughts. Should he worry about you having some kind of weird heterosexual experiences with a man and in front of your child? Does he have any reason to be concerned about that? Tell me that no matter what kind of sex you're into you would never do anything in front of your child. I'll bet he would say exactly the same thing. Can you have heterosexual contact without exposing your child to anything harmful? Probably. So can he. Because he likes something you don't like doesn't mean he will cause the child any more harm than you. Honor the child and honor his love for the child.

Answer 4

I don't think that being gay or not makes you a good or bad parent, but in the courts eyes it would probably make a big difference the courts today want a child to grow up as safe and as "normal" as possible. As long as you have those two in your favor you should be o.k. remember to have means to support your child before going to court to, you have to prove that baby is secure with you on all points of their system. (not to mention you live in Georgia there way old fashioned they wont go for that.

Answer 5

If he's letting your daughter see him doing "freaky things", and your lawyer brings that up in court, I think you would have a shot at full custody, regardless if he was straight or gay.

Answer 6

No. It's not that simple.

But if you can prove that he's gay and has done something extraordinarily inappropriate for your kid's viewing, and that he might influence your kid in a bad way, or that he's been caught cruising in a public park, then I'm pretty sure the kid's yours. Unless you yourself are a hanky panky.

Answer 7

There are no guarantees. Adultry is adultry, and even in the worst cases the courts will award joint custody. Get a lawyer.

Answer 8

U will get the custody of ur daughter with liability of maintenance fixed on her father.

Answer 9

90% of all custody battles goes to the wife unless you are the only provider,it,s a very good chance she will but they do judge by sexuality it,s how good you are to take care if the happyness if the child.

Answer 10

"you" don't want, "you" don't want, "you don't want. The only thing you can decide is if you don't want to be married to him. You have no right in taking her away from her father. When you decided to have sex with him and not prevent a pregnancy you allowed this man to be always be the child's father. It is not a crime to be gay and he is not gay.. he is bi.
