I have sole custody of my daughter and her father has supervised visitation due to a history of drug addiction. He was court ordered in 2004 to drug test weekly (random) and still to this day has not. It was recently extended to 1 year which initially he only needed to complete 90 days. just last year he completed a 90 day rehab (his 4th attempt) and then right after was arrested and went to prison. Upon his release his parole requirement was drug testing, except it is very random, like maybe once a month. He is insisting that this will satisfy our custody court order even though ours is and has been ordered to be weekly (due to his drug of choice). I think thats ridiculous, but was hoping for feed back. Doesnt his parole requirement have NOTHING to do with his requirements for our custody order?
Actually im pretty sure he has been doing the testing for his parole requirements. He is doing good right now. I do hope it stays that way, but ive gone throught this long enough with him to know that a few months clean mean nothing. that is why i am hoping our order will be enforced. i just need to know as a mom, that my daughter will be 100% safe when and if the supervisions ends.
also, i dont know who his parole officer is, so that doesnt help me any. :(

well i was once an officer, and w/ his drug addictions he should not have custody of your child, call his parole officer and ask if he/ she is updating to him, he’s probably using that drug of choice, if he doues’nt update w/ his parole officer, well he’s as good as going back to jail, a parole officer has to keep in touch w/ him.

You need to talk to a lawyer to find out these things. An attorney could find the name of his PO.
