if the mom has turned her life around and can make a positive impact on her child's life then the courts or whomever should and will give her a second chance. this doesn't mean that she won't be supervised if the courts are involved. you can also keep your eyes open for any bad behavior regression changes that would indicate drug usage again, then you know what to do with that information. report it.

What groundbreaking legal topic did the movie Kramer vs Kramer depict?
The groundbreaking legal topic depicted in the movie Kramer vs Kramer was fathers' rights to sue for custody of their children. In 1979, this idea sent chills through real-life working mothers who had left, separated from, or wanted to divorce their husbands--or were thinking of doing so. Prior to this, most court custody decisions automatically awarded full physical-legal custody to the mother, with visitation rights given to the father. The movie also showed the depths of ugly accusations that legal battles can take in the process of proving a working mother to be legally unfit to retain custody. The battle depicted, regardless of the movie's outcome, was life-changing to real parents going though custody fights. It was also inspiring for men who wanted to seek full-time custody.

What is the quickest way to get divorced in ca?
The minimum time required to obtain a divorce in California is 6 months from the date a party is served with divorce papers (Summons and Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.) Divorces can take longer if all of the issues of custody, support and division of assets cannot be resolved prior to the expiration of the 6 month period. You can "bifurcate" your divorce and obtain the "status" of being divorced at the end of the 6 month period, even if you haven't resolved all of the other issues of custody, support and property. A custody coach can be a great help in answering all of your questions and helping you through your divorce. There are many good coaches out there, include myself.
