If someone tests positive for drugs (marijuana) and they have custody over a child, do they have to give up rights to the child immediately? If the other parent is not a drug user, and not the custodial parent, will the courts reconsider? Or does it depend on the evidence given in the initial hearing?

It will be up to the court. They will act in the best interest of the child and if habitual drug use is taking place then you have a strong case for getting custody but not a guarantee. Fight it in court and good luck!
