Past Drug Abuse and Child Custody: What Parents Should Know
A history of drug abuse can become an important issue during a child custody dispute. The other parent may raise those concerns, and drug testing may sometimes be used to address questions about a parent's current substance use.
The key is not only what happened in the past, but what you are doing now. Remaining drug-free, making responsible decisions, and demonstrating your ability to provide a safe environment for your child can all matter.
