Laws vary from state-to-state, and in addition every situation is unique, and relevant facts may not be known. The answer to the question posed below may not apply to in your state or to your situation. For legal advice in your state and your situation you should consult with an attorney in your state who is familiar with the rules and laws in your state.
I am in court with my son’s father for joint custody and I am concerned with all the drugs he does. If I ask for him to take a drug test will I have to take one to?
If the court finds that there is enough evidence to indicate that your son’s father is using drugs, then the court may order a drug test to be performed. Your son’s father being drug tested does not necessarily warrant you being subjected to a drug test, unless there is sufficient evidence presented to the court that indicates you are using illegal drugs.
