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!

I have a paternity suit pending against my ex fiance. Our child is 4 months old and he has never seen the child, called, asked for pictures, or anything. He abandoned me when I was 14 weeks pregnant and I haven’t heard from him since (well once when he was really drunk and threatening me). He is an alcoholic. He has a DUI on his record. He drinks 1-2 CASES of beer per night plus whatever whiskey he can get. Everyone knows he is an alcoholic. I don’t want him around my son until he is sober. But how do you prove in court that a person is an alcoholic? He lives three states away.
I asked my attorney and he just blew me off.
john, it’s obvious to me that you don’t understand parenthood or not. Visitation and child support are two separate entities in the eyes of the legal system. why are you answering this question when you obviously don’t know **** about legality?

Yes, I can. His brother was my roommate. He was there when the deadbeat drove off and saw how hard it was for me to go through the rest of the pregnancy alone. His brother also knows he’s an alcoholic.
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????
