[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re making the right choice. One thing you might consider is taking advantage of the addict-repentance stage to get everything documented— he admits to his addiction, admits to endangering the child, admits to illegal behavior, in a way that you can use to achieve full custody. Consult a lawyer (obviously!) but there’s no reason to waste this phase.[/quote] This is excellent advice above, OP. It's sad to have to say it but you need to take advantage of this stage quickly, before he starts to backpedal, deny he's got a problem, claim weed "isn't addictive" blah blah. It'll happen sooner or later. I'd get as much documentation as you possibly can, as soon as you can, like PP says. And you can't let DH know what it's really for (full custody eventually) but...yeah, you need full legal and physical custody. THIS time the baby was with him but another time it could be so different and tragic. Next time the baby might be in the car. I truly wish for you a very aggressive and experienced attorney who can get you the sole custody you need to protect your kids. If your DH eventually straightens up for long enough he might get some custody or visitation but right now and for a long time to come, he's a danger to your kids. I actually wish I could somehow steer you to a good attorney. Maybe you can post here separately for names of attorneys people have used in custody situaitons where a parent is a drug user. [/quote]
