I'm not following you. Some other attorney may "get" your question and answer. Otherwise, re-post with more details. What is the issue? What happened? When did the things happen? What is happening now to prompt you to post? What is your precise question?

I share Ms. Hofmeister's confusion. Your question doesn't really explain what happened in 1992 or 1994, or even what's happening now.

Was your husband's 1992 forgery "issue" an arrest? A conviction? A civil lawsuit? Something else?

When you say it was "clear back in 1994", do you mean that the facts were clear? Or do you mean it was cleared up? If you mean cleared up, do you mean he prevailed at trial? Do you mean he won an appeal? Or maybe that he was granted a writ of habeas corpus?

You say all of this was "found out", but you don't say how, when or by whom. You also don't explain why it is relevant to your efforts to gain custody of your grandchild.

Please try again, and please address these points when you do.

Forgery is not a sex or violence crime that should adversely affect your ability to seek custody or guardianship over a grandchild. There are however many other factors and issues that you will have to dealt with in satisfying the legal requirements of the court system. You would be well advised to hire experienced counsel if you expect to effectively pursue this. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
