Re: failure to go to drug test
Typically the court considers a missed test a positive test so yes, it could help your case for sole custody. Obviously I don't know anything about your case, but there is a presumption of joint custody. In order to be awarded sole custody, the burden is on you to show why it should be ordered. Drug use would be one of many factors you could use to show why sole custody is appropriate. Please let me know if you would like to schedule a consultation.

Re: failure to go to drug test
That can certanly be an important factor.
I can explain the issues and procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.
Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation.
