You can ASK the judge to consider it, and you will have to have documentation that he was a prior user, and or is still using to be strongly considered. Judges hear people claiming their ex was the worst at everything everyday, so some proof would help if you want the random drug testing. As for Supervised, it would be the same thing, but harder to get. The judge is going to want STRONG reasoning of why he should order someone to watch and snoop into a parent/child relationship, more than what could be perceived as an angry mother and an angry father. I am not saying don't try, but come prepared so you can protect your child.

You don't want that around your child, yet you slept with the man and aren't sure if he's the father? Wow. Anyway, yes the court can order drug tests if they decide to do so, but getting the court to do so in this case might not be easy.

Yes, see an attorney. If you have proof to establish that the father has drug/alchohol problems, you can request supervised visitation. If he violates this, his visitation can be ended by Judicial intervention. Contact your attorney, request that the child be given his own attorney (Law Guardian) to protect his rights as well.

You can ask, definitely ask. Don't expect it to happen unless you can establish a lot of drug history. Did you try for supervised visitations..
Also, someone is going to have to pay for the drug tests (you or him). The court isn't going to cough up for anything.

Only if there's a proven history of drug use. Was he ever convicted of possession?
Alternately, you could request supervised visitation and his attendance at a Narcotics Anonymous group. All you need are some unbiased people (not friends) who will say he has a problem with drugs.

You can request it, but the Judge would have to weigh the probability he is using drugs in the first place. If he has a prior record of such behavior, then you would likely succeed.
I say give it a shot, protect your kid.
