Court Ordered Drug Rehabilitation

My husband is 40 and he has two sons (12 & 9) with his ex. They had joint legal custody and he had full physical custody until last December. She is a long time prescription drug addict and overdosed in December. We went to court and got full custody and stayed the visitation. Since then the DA has filed criminal charges against her and she got monitored visitation for two hours a week. According to the Order she is supposed to be going to an outpatient rehab and providing proof that she is doing so, we haven’t seen anything yet, all she provided was a letter from a sober living home that she doesn’t even live at. We did subpoena the records from this place but haven’t gotten anything back yet. We are going back to court next week and the judge said that she might be able to give her full visitation back if she provides the information requested in the order. She is definitely lying about going to the rehab, we have been to the meetings at the sober living home and she is no where to be found. How could the court give her full visitation back despite the fact that we have provided the court her extensive history, she has admitted to the abuse, has criminal charges against her and hasn’t done anything about it? We are trying to figure out if there is another way to prove that she is still using, we know that she is…just the fact that we need to prove it..any ideas?

4 years ago i received a call from child services to go in to their office and talk to one of their workers about my daughter. It turns out her mother was using drugs and leaving my daughter with different relatives for weeks at a time i always knew and tried to stop it but courts always want proof as long as i received my visits she was fine they would say well because of the drug abuse they gave me the proof i needed to take to family court and was granted full custody with no visits from her mother till she did everything she was ordered to do rehab and so on at that time my daughter was 7 now shes 12 well 4 years with no contact she bettered her self and cleaned up shes taking me to court for a modification of custody her wanting full custody and now me getting visits on weekends we went to mediation and no agreement i told her i did not want to hand her over like nothing happened in this 4 years my daughter has accomplished alot and i don’t want her interrupted she feels confident because she got her other daughters back from a previous relationship back but the guy did not put up a fight he was better of giving his girls back he says IM married and have 2 other girls here in my home they don’t want there older sister to move out im okay with visits but not moving out what will happen in the first court hearing will it get resolved or is there more court battles till this conflict is resolved will she win does the judge consider her absence taking so long we signed a safety pack thru child services with her agreeint to full custody for me while seeking treatment will it help my case and the letters and reports of child services

If you do not have an open mind or are going to say bad things about what she does then don’t bother!
My best friend does pot, and she drinks. She failed her last court ordered drug test. Now, she just got arrested for drinking. she’s 19 which was a miracle considering she was planning on doing acid tonight.
Idk what to do. I told her how bad it hurts me that she does it so close to her court date (idc if she does it but her court date is less than a month). she says that it hurts her that it hurts me but she just doesn’t stop. i’m just so afraid of losing her to a bad trip or her going to jail.
how can i get to her? i just don’t want her to do this stuff anymore. she’s been to rehab 4 times. she’s been hospitilized. so lock downs don’t work.
i don’t want an intervention.
idk i’m so helpless.
I’ve been to every court appearance. I’m the one to bail her out.

i recently went to court to retain custody of my 2 yr old son, i went in front of the judge submitted a dna test police reports and such his order was mother is to complete 9 months of intensive impatient drug treatment, there was a no contact order issued he also made it pertantly clear that she can only see him at my approval under supervision after she completes 9 months of rehab

we recently moved to dobbs ferry from florida the order was issued in florida is there a law that protects me fro running into future problems seeing as the judges orders clearly state that i am the custodail parent and that she is to have no contact which means no calling me my wife my mother grandparents etc… weather it be her or anyonbe else doing it for her

my 2 year old son is very happy with the only woman he has ever called mommy he is very happy he is taken to the park he is given nothing but unconditional love and this women who the last time saw him in febuary of 09 he cried as soon as i put him in her arms which was @ a halfway house and she still went out and smoked cracked

i dont get it i know i have to tell my son about her and i cannot wait until he is to old but he cant be to youbg either i do want him to know about her i will not ever tell him about the bad things i want him to choose if he wants a relationship with her assuming at that time she has long term sobreity (meaning 2 plus years)

i do not want him to resent me because he one day finda a birth certificate or sees pictures etc… i am just concerned about my son he has a good life and she (his biological) is only that and he will know her by her first name she has other kids whom she has nothing to do with i am just confused as to how to handle this situtation i knopw i am protected by the law i also know when the biological is sober she is not a bad person but i also know she cant tay clean to save her ass longer then a few months and all i want is for her to get well so my son can decide if he wants her in his life once he is old enough meaning somewhere between 5 & 7 yrs of age if i can find a correct way to tell him without tramatizing him because he has a Mommy and doesnt need a person in his life that wnats him to call her mommy yet is only there once every few months for day or so he was a convenience she used to ask me to keep him awake so she could play with him @ 11 pm @ night when he was only a yr old if he wouldnt eat she would force feed him i one time had to take him out of her hands and tell her to get the f**k away from my kid another time i had to pick her sorry azz up off the floor as she was passed out on drugs (many times)n i just dont know what to do i want the best life for my son and if that means she is a part of it somehow some way ok as long as he knows that she is only the biological , not the mommy

my son has so much love given to him by my wife and her sister and brother in law and all her cusins and her parents and ofcourse my mother and grand parents and aunt and uncles and cousins and so on please anyone who has experienced such things pos on this,thanks,

May GOD as you understand him/her/it bless you and your family

This is for my brother who is going to come up for hearing sometime soon(date has not yet been set).
I need a good in-house drug rehab faccility for him to go to to keep him clean and safe before his court date.
I’m not sure but we beleive he’s doing weed, speed, ice, and maybe meth.
And somethign more strict would be better in order to keep him in place.
I would greatly appreciate any reccomendations i get.
thank you

We do not have a court order for visitation or child support – I have just been letting him come over and see our 4 mos old twin girls at my house. He has a drug issue and I will not allow him to take the babies until he at least attempts a drug rehab program. I know he has taken his boys (from his own lips) with him when he picks up his drugs. He shared this before the babies were an issue – so do I have to allow him to see them? or can I hold out until he has the you know whats to go to court? and can he get unsupervised visits if I can prove he is a crack addict to the judge?
Upon receiving the first 17 answers I have phoned an attorney and booked myself on Jerry Springer to pay for the attorney – thanks to the “man” for 2 cents- he only builds my case against them.

This is not a police bashing question so if your here just to say the police are evil don’t bother commenting!

If a person gets caught with Marijuana misdemeanor charge and suffers from hardship in finding employment that requires background checks and pays the fine how are they any better off after that happening compared to an individual that smokes marijuana but doesn’t get caught?

Now that same analogy with a more illicit and more dangerous drug like cocaine

An individual who get’s caught with misdemeanor quantity of cocaine that ends up doing jail time and sentenced to court ordered rehab and community service and pays a huge fine..
Now comparing that to a individual who is also a cocaine addict but doesn’t get caught and continues there drug of abuse .

This makes good sense to me since the cocaine addict will eventually destroy there health and turn on there family by stealing and hurting the people who are close to them so it would be better off if they had been handcuffed and put in jail to get clean. So what is there governments reasoning?

I am a mom and I currently have custody of my two older sons. Their father was arrested on a Felony drug charge twice. Pocession of a controlled substance.. The courts are wanting us to do and evaluation. they had ordered himto do a drug test which was negative and he is on probation for the next 3 years…He is also going to AA?NA and another drug rehab program… if he messes up once he has to do full time served in jail… i was wondering if anyone would know why we have to go through an evaluation?? I live in California Merced County. I believe the mediator is biased… how would I get that across to a judge? The mediator had previously given my ex-husband primary custody just less than a year ago… and knew about the first arrest and still gave my ex custody… I have never been in trouble don’t do drugs and I dont drink… but yet it seems like the mediator wants my ex to have my children. what should I do?

he is the type of person who dosen’t like to work and has only held about two jobs in his lifetime, how can i go about enforcing child support from him? we have been to court several times in the past and the only dime he has paid was when they arrested him for failure to keep a court order, but that was in nassau county, now im in the county of kings, how does this work, cant they make him get a damn job hes a lazy individual , by the way whom was not like that when i met him. and for some reason it’s always the niceness in the begining.
