It's very possible. The behavior of a parent, plays a large part in custody cases. If one of the parents (or both) are considered unfit for whatever reason. It is highly unlikely they will be granted or retain custody of the child(ren). Either parent with an alcohol/drug problem would not be looked on favorably by a judge in a custody case. There would be strong potential for child endangerment and/or neglect.

Yes, it is possible. The state that you were arrested or ticketed in can send documents to the department of transporation in your state requesting suspension if the offense warranted it.

But you may be restricted from driving in the offense state. This is a common occurrence with OWI/DWI convictions, and most states will suspend your license for a conviction on this offense in another state.
