Legal Question in Family Law in California
My husband and I are about to start a divorce. We have been married for almost 10 years and after years of verbal abuse and controlling me Im done. We have 2 sons ages 4 and 8 I'm concerned he will play dirty. He smokes pot and drinks and generally cant hold a job for longer than 6 months before getting fired for his temper. I have been at my job for 3 years I dont drink or do drugs, What does the outcome of custody look like in these cases?
2 Answer from Attorneys
The court will place the children with the parent providing the safest environment and has the history of being the day to day care provider to the children. When you file and serve your divorce petition,include a motion to establish custody and visitation. In that motion, request random drug testing for father as a precondition to seeing the children.
