[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He won’t want 50/50 custody. With work and his social schedule he’ll likely ask for a 70/30. No need to keep kids from their father. Even if he’s an alcoholic, he usually waits for the binge after they are in bed. And they are old enough to call me if something goes wrong. There is alcoholic abuse that’s been documented in my therapy records. But I have yet to call the police. My therapist suggested calling 911 the next time he’s drinking and driving. I haven’t had the stomach to do that to the father of my children. I don’t love him but I also don’t hate him. [/quote]

please consult a lawyer who has experience with addiction.  If in MD try Meg McKinney or AnneMarie Jackson.  You may not have the leverage I did at the time but under the terms of our divorce my ex consented to an intoxilock in his car and no driving with the kids in any other car until he was sober for 5 consecutive years.   Like you I waited until my kids were old enough to not stick a fork in an electric socket if he was passed out on the couch.  Life is so much better now and because of the terms of our divorce (which require abstinence for him to see the kids - I have 60/40 but he has to take breathalyzers) I think he is doing better too.  I dont want my kids to watch their dad die of alcoholism.[/quote]
