Here's what you should do: Go spend $175 NOW and have a nine-panel hair follicle test done on your girlfriend. It has a "look-back" period of six months. When the results come back NEGATIVE for all nine panels, mail a copy to your ex-wife with a note that says "In case you were wondering."
No, she cannot. But if whe brings a court case, the judge can refuse to let YOU have custody of your two boys unless your girlfriend is clean, especially if she lives with you. Before doing anything, get your girlfriend tested. If she refuses (or tests positive), then you should begin contemplating whether she is more important to you than your children because you might have to make that decision.
