    Default Don't Take My Princess

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Georgia
    I don't know how often this comes up.
    I am the daddy of my three year old little angel. Problem is that she was fathered by another man. He was (and still is) married to another woman. My wife was involved with him while he was "going through a divorce" and promised to leave his wife for her. Instead he left my wife high and dry. My wife was pregnant with our daughter when we married 4 years ago. Before I married her, I spoke with him to see what he wanted to do about it, and he told me that he would step aside and would "wash his hands of it" and have nothing to do with the baby. We married a week later. Approximately 6 months later, our daughter was born. I was there for the birth and signed the birth certificate. He has had no contact with our daughter, outside of a package he sent about 2 years ago.
    Now the possibility of him and his wife pursuing custody of our daughter has come up.
    A paternity test was done proving him as the father during a period of arguments some time ago.
    The test was not initiated in regards to him being the father. It was done as part of another divorce they were supposed to have. His wife contacted mine stating she needed proof of his infidelity to have a more favorable ruling in court as other women had come forward and said he had affairs with them too, as part of a so called class action so to speak. That divorce was never finalized.
    He and his current wife don't have the best relationship. He cut ties, but his wife keeps contacting mine in jealous fits. She can't let go of what happened. And pushes him to seek out drama, to get back at my wife for his infidelity.
    Now they threaten to take custody, out of spite, not because they have or actually want to build a relationship.
    My question is, does he have any right to custody, or can he pusue custody of our daughter?

    Does the biological father have any relationship with the child? Has he ever contributed to her support? Does your wife oppose his gaining rights?

    See, e.g., Ghrist v. Fricks and LaBrec v. Davis.

    No he hasn't had a relationship, has not paid or provided support and mom is in opposition of him having rights. Actually, I'm not sure he wants it, but is a minion at the hands of his own battle axe out of spite she has.
