Weed and custody

Myself and my daughters dad have 50/50 custody I am primary caretaker, he's suppose to pick up my daughter on weekends and curten holidays but he dosen't. I found out from my daughter about two years ago that he smokes weed. She told me about the time she saw him rolling his joint, she asked what that was he answered it was a medecin ciggerett. Sience then she's told me about finding containers filled with weed and him growing plants in the house, She says His friends come over and they smoke in the back yard. We fight all the time over this matter I even stop letting her go over his house. He says he want smoke while she's there' I don't belive him. My daughters stuck in the middle and misses her dad. I'm trying to teacher her about staying away from drugs,ciggeretts and alcohol SAY NO TO DRUGS. He's telling her it's not bad and I'm tripping. Can I take him to court for sole custody and ask for a drug test on him and his live in girlfriend. What would the out come be and whats the differents in the laws for state and fedderal?

You can take him to court, & usually the outcome is no overnites, & sometimes only supervised visits. I do not know how u feel abot your ex mom-in'law, but if on good terms , talk to her.

Yes you need to file an order with the court to modifly the origanl order. you need ask for sole custody and to stop his visitations until he gets help with his drug promblem, if you don't want to take away his visits then you can ask the court that he have supervised visits and the court can order that and he would have to pay the state for having those visits set up, he would be required to have drug tests done. If he refuses any of this he can be held in contempt of court. I have seen this done and it is the easiest way to go for the best interest of your child.
