We don't let 7-year-olds make those kinds of decisions.

You CAN ask the court to modify your visitation order so that it prohibits Dad from drinking alcohol while he has the child in his possession.

If Dad ever comes to pick up the child and is visibly drunk, do NOT let him drive off with your child. In Texas, it's a felony to endanger a child.
