I recently had a court date for divorce/custody, and had to take a drug test,?

My ex stood up in court and said that i abuse my prescriptions that i take for 2 car accidents that i recieved 3 herniated disks in my c-spine from, and have been this way ( in pain ) for 2 years. These dr.s are horrible in las vegas....


Needless to say, i am guilty of taking too many pills than prescribed, and have cleaned up for my next court date Sept 12th. The judge granted temp. sole custody to their dad, i have not even spoken to my kids over the phone, they got interviewed, and in the report, my kids revealed that he is abusive, physically and mentally to them, how coulld a judge hand them to such a person? Blood or not? Not to mention he left state for 4 years, which i consider abandonment, and never paid support, i took care of them , and he decided to move back after me begging him to for the kids, i wanted them to grow up with their father. MY MAIN question is... DOES ANYBODY know what my next should be ? What will the courts want EXACTLY from me? Besides being clean.

my best suggestion would be to learn to manage your pain another way. Yes get your own independent drug test done. they will probably monitor you for several months and make you jump through there hoops. Good Luck!!!

Reply:My niece went through a similar problem you should get your own test I don't see how they took them to start with if you had a Dr's prescription but that's our justice system, Any how the courts will probably give you supervised visitation at first and random drug testing so stay clean and good luck.
Reply:A judge granting temporary custody is not final. The judge is giving you time to clean up your act. Find yourself a good attorney, and go back to court clean. If you feel that your children are being abused in any way, then you should have your attorney request that a guardian ad litem be brought into the equation. The guardian ad litem will represent the children in the divorce proceedings, and will investigate both parents. Do not bother getting a drug test on your own. The courts generally require testing at a chosen facility.

Reply:when couples get divorced, the 1st thing that should be done is to look out for the kids best interest. no matter how friendly separated spouses seem to be to each other. sooner or later that changes, due to either meeting someone new. the kids are stuck in the middle and the battle begins. custody has to be established. kids need to feel safe, and not jerked around.
Reply:i think you are leaving some details out of your question the doctors prescribe the drugs for you an should be able to get a drug test that shows you are taking these pills under a doctors care have your lawyer have your X take a drug test the court wants to place your kids with the best parent do what you gotta do for them
Reply:Get clean and get your act together... then go after your children to get them back.
Reply:yes you should have your own test done done with a different doctor or a place where people get sent to by courts if they do test people who arent court ordered and tell the judge that you are absolutly not abusing your prescribtions now and tell him your willing to prove to him that you will not be abusing them in the future and that you would like your kids back if he doesnt listen then he shouldnt be a judge but that wont change the fact that he is i guess. I went through something similar with my mother and she did try very hard to get me back and the courts and social services were assholes and gave her so many tasks to do that it pushed her out of my life now she is dead and it kills me everyday that i missed out on time with her she got in a car accident and didnt make it i wish to god i would have moved back in with her instead of staying with my father wich is also mentally abusive so anyways maybe not too similar but anything to do with a mother and HER children that she gaqve birth to makes me emotional i guess i hope to god you get them back and get to live your life i wish i knew something about the law and court processes so i could actually help.
