Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
my brother as gone thru a very long custody battle with his ex regarding their daughter. There is a lot of history to this, but initally his ex wife had custody and he had visitiation. Then she had some real drug and alchohol issues, she is also a conficted felon. My brother was , after years, able to get full custody. The ex made no efforts to visist or contact. This gal has relocated to another part of the state, broken up a marriage and is now living off of her new boss. She is a bartender in a rest. She recently had a DUI in the last several weeks.
She has now served my brother with a suit for visitation. They appeared in court and the judge ruled that she submit to a hair folicle test in 30 days. They are due back in court in august.
My question is this. This gal is bad news and my brother is sincerely worried about his child being around her, whether it in a car or alone with her due to the drug an booze. Is it admissable to bring to light this new DUI charge and the past rehab stints and occurances to the judge?

It is admissible under certain circumstances and if done in the right way. Hopefully, he has an experienced family law attorney handling his case. If not, then he certainly needs to make sure that he gets one.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
