Legal Question in Family Law in California

drug addict mom

Why does the court always claim

that is for the best interest of the

child to see the mother?

The mother is addicted to crystal

meth. Has recently been tested

positive for the drug. It is highly

addictive. The mother has supervised

visitation and the judge wants her to

be able to have unsupervised visits.

The mother also drives around high

on the drug during visits, for she

can't get off the stuff. I feel that that

if my daughter continues down this

path, she too will become like her

mother. In this case along with

many others, the best interest for

the child would be to not be around

the mother at all. She will never get

off the drug on her own, without

help. Nobodoy does. After a lot of

research I have discovered that the

people who admit they have a

problem, go to rehab, get off the

drug... there is a 95.6% turn around

rate & they are right back on the

drug again.

How can I put an end to this

miserable system?

I am certain that if the roles were

reversed, I would never be able to

see my daughter again.

I (like many other males in the

system) am being disciminated

against, because I am the male.

Re: drug addict mom

I don't know if you are being discriminated against because you are a male. Some judges have a tendency of bending over backwards to see the child has a relationship with both parents. I would suggest that you talk to a custody attorney in your county to see if there are additional safeguards for the child. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
