I am about to file for divorce & NEED to prove my husband is an alcoholic & will put our 3-year-old’s safety at risk. I know most judges will rule the alcoholic can’t drive the child or have him overnight, but I have no proof that my husband is a drunk!
He drinks at his home & doesn’t drive much. He hides vodka in his laptop bag so he can drink at work, but hasn’t been caught yet. Strangely enough, he is a brilliant IT director & very respected!
I know for a fact that he drink around the clock because he has physical withdrawals if he goes without alcohol one day. He physically can’t avoid alcohol in order to have visitation since he gets violently ill, so I know he’ll drink while caring for my son (even if the jugde orders him not to).
Since he has no DUI offenses & hasn’t lost jobs due to driking, what else can I do to prove he is an alcoholic & that he will put our son’s safety in danger?
BTW, he has driven my son while drunk…I just don’t have evidence to show the court.
I’ve thought of calling the cops when he leaves here drunk, but I doubt they will locate him while he’s on the road. They’d have to respond within seconds to catch him driving away.
I’ve also considered hiring a private investigator to track him & get proof, but doubt I can afford it.
Wow, there are some very angry people attacking me! He wasn’t an alcoholic when I met him 10 years ago. The drinking has become a problem the last 2 years.
The reason I am divorcing him is so MY SON won’t have to suffer life with his alcoholic father in the home. I also can’t stop my husband from driving him while drunk!
How dare anyone say I’m the one who is hurting my child. Divorce is incredibly painful for all of us, but in the end I have to protect my child!

We have been divorced for 2 years now. I have since remarried and my kids love my husband. My x only calls when it is convenient for him, and has not paid a dime in child support. My biggest worry is that his house is not a very good place for kids. It is a 3 bedroom house that is his parents, and there are a total of 8 people living there. To top it off his sister is a convicted crack head whose husband is currently in jail on drug charges. I know my x smokes pot and have heard from friends that he is now into crack. I was also told by my son that he sleeps on the couch, and his sister sleeps with grandma and grandpa when they are there. I was told that I had to have a room for each of them. Doesn’t that go both ways? Oh and he hasn’t had a job since the middle of 2006. He’s had a girlfriend for 3 years (we’ve only been divorced for 2), and now he is mooching off her. What do I do????

Ok so let me give you a little history:
We live in a big old house in Oregon from the 1900′s that has been broken down into 7 apartments. I live on main floor with people above, below, and behind me.
In October the owner moved in a lady. She was dealing drugs, hooking, and stuffs gone missing! She got arrested, FOR DRUGS, at the end of November and sense then we have been trying to get her out. She has not paid her rent. She smokes inside, and the house has shared ventilation, and there are 3 children and 3 adults with asthma in the home. Makes lots of noise and just is a real SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY!!!
So every time we think the lawyers going to get the sheriff and come and kick her out, some how she gets some judge to give her another hearing and extend her time. She has had like 5 hearings and only showed up for one! How shes getting away with this is beyond me! I wish I could not pay my rent and live Scott free!
So none the less I want to put a protest sign in my front window of my apartment which is a big picture window on the front of the house that faces the street. I don’t want to give her anything that she can use to stay longer like slander or harassment or anything like that.
I was thinking something like “The law only help druggie and not good citizens… A woman in the house has been endangering minors.. But the courts keep letting her stay…” something like that.. I just what to do something! But not break the law. HELP!!!!
I am already moving, I only have two more week in my apartment. But that doesnt mean criminals should get away with things like this! It’s people that always turn there shoulder and dont do anything about it that feed these types of people! I am trying to DO something instead of just siting here and taking this!
So if your not answering my accual question about the protest sign, please move along and save it for someone else!
I dont own the place, its not money out of my pocket. This person broke the law, edagered MY son, has been making me sick, and is a general pain in the ****! AND NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! Get it in your heads I want help with my protest sign! I am doing if I get help from any of you or not! I am doing it because it is the right thing to do! WE CAN HEAR HER HOOKING THROUGH THE FLOOR!
She already yelled and me and my son and another tenant and her children and hte property manager. Like I am going to go and have a nice conversation with her. She has no regard for anyone else living in this house. I have know druggies, I came from a bad home, so why the hell would I want my kid around that. People make to meny excuses and need to held accountable for there action! Its nice to see how many poeple think about the woman breaking the law and how she is such a victim. I have all the excuses and more then she probley does to be pretty messed up and high as a kite, but I am not! And what about the fact that she has not paid her rent? or shes smoking in the house making children sick? And having sex for money? and the activity at all hours of the night. So just because “society” made her who she is my family should just have to deal with it? NO!

My son’s father has not had any contact with me since I was 4 months pregnate, by his own choice. He has no idea when my son was born or even what his name is. He is not even on the birth certificate because state law mandates that the father be present to have his name on the birth certificate. I would like to patition the courts for formal custody, just in case his father ever decides to track me down. But I am not 100% sure he is the father and I know the courts will want a fathers name and they will seek a paturnity test if I am not positive on who the father is. My major problem is the other possible father know the man who I’m pretty sure is my son’s father. I was in contact with him awhile back but he made no effort to help pay for a paturnity test and didn’t want to see my son unless he knew for sure that he was the father. SO how do I get formal custody from the courts without the potencial daddies finding out. #1 is a druggie and alcoholic #2 is a good guy and a great father.
I have an adult son who is using drugs daily and refuses to consider rehab. I need to know if I can petition the courts to place him against his will. He’s a danger to himself and has been hospitalized many times because of his use of Angel Dust. He’s a danger to himself.
