I have sole legal custody over my son and want sole physical custody,can I request to have the court drug test the father?

Your questions are complicated and fact specific. They do not easily lend themselves to this forum. I would need to review your existing documents, agreements and court orders. I will gladly discuss this matter with you. You can call me at (516) 368-2484.

I agree with the previous answer in that your question will require additional information for an attorney to properly advise. In general, non-specific terms, however, I can provide the following background knowledge: a) If the child's father has visitation or some form of custody with the child, you can bring your concerns to the court by petition. You can ask the court to suspend visits, implement supervised visits, modify visits, make visitation dependent on drug testing, etc. The court will decide which action needs to be taken in light of your petition, and the other party will have the opportunity to defend against your claims. b) Abuse can also be alleged by a family offense petition which may result in an order of protection. First, the court may issue a temporary order while the case is pending, and then may issue a long term order after the case has been processed in court and the other party has had the opportunity to be heard in defense of your claims. c) Re-location depends on a number of factors and more information is needed. It is best to meet with an attorney in private in order to evaluate your specific course of action and likelihood of success.
