I have a 15 almost 16 year old son who has a father that lives in California... I live in North Carolina. His father called last night to ask to have a 2 week visitation with my son, and his half sister, (who is visiting us, her mother also has custody). Now, I don't want to keep him from visiting his son or daughter, but, he had a terrible drinking problem when I was married to him in '92, and was ordered to go to AA meetings (this order is withdrawn). Can I go to court for some kind of order requiring he be tested for alcohol during the period our children are with him? Is there a test that can detect alcohol in his system if it was a day or two before?
We had a 15 year custody battle, and it scares me that he called me of all people drunk. He told my son he has his blessing to steal a boat and go joy riding... called me (myname) -baby, which is like Hitler calling Churchill "Winnie". Most frightening that his judgement has slipped this badly. What next?

It just depends what the courts say. Make sure all of this is known, that he's negligent and untrustworthy (and an alcoholic!), and you can probably get by without giving him any custody. It depends on who deals with the case though, but considering you're the mother you could get full custody.

In each state that i understand of - infants can drink with a mothers and fathers permission, it does not must be the two. no be counted if or no longer this constitutes endangerment is yet another taking part in field. maximum folk do no longer understand you could drink once you're decrease than 21 with a mothers and fathers permission and decrease than their supervision. there's no regulations asserting how plenty they are in a position to drink or what age that they had must be. additionally FYI, it would probable take a million or 2 beers to get a 13 twelve months previous decrease than the impression of alcohol so the term "sloshed" must be observed as such.

there is no way my child would ever go so far from home when i know that a person with impaired judgment would be responsible. i say change your phone #'s to unlisted and block your number from showing when and if the kids want to contact him. the man still has a problem. telling your child to steal is unacceptable. you could probably even have his rights revoked legally. you need to run not walk to the lawyers' office. be sure you get a shark.

My suggestion would be to contact your family attorney and ask that a motion to amend the court order to include a possibility of supervised visitation since he appears to be a bad influence!
Best wishes.

if his visitation is legal, you cant really do much, but if not you can make an order thru the courts and include this into the document(visitation rights) also include into this is a drug test, which is endangering the child, poor judgment is no excuse...

I don't understand why this wasn't settled during the custody battle.
