my ex failed a drug test in tn. and lost his rights to pick up our son. and later i was told by my lawyer he had a clean drug test. and i had to give him back visitation. so we signed a parenting plan to start his visitation again on aug. 10 08. but he was to produce a clean drug test every 3 months. starting sept 1, 07. he has never gave me one and don't try to call or come and see our son [i told him he could see him any time he just had to do it at my house] now he wants to get him 10 days after christmas and take he to him mothers. he said he will take me for contempt of court if i didn't let him .can he do that.i also found out my x- lawyer don't have a copy of clean drug test. so i don't know if he had one or not. can he just do what he wants
