The determination of custody is a complex legal matter that varies depending on jurisdiction and specific circumstances. Generally, drug use can have a negative impact on a person's ability to retain custody, particularly if it is deemed to endanger the child's welfare or safety. However, each case is evaluated on an individual basis, taking into account multiple factors such as the frequency and severity of drug use, the presence of a safe environment for the child, and the parent's ability to provide for their child's wellbeing.

You have joint custody with your ex husband do you have the right to have him drug tested if you suspect drug abuse?

You do IF this is written in the custody agreement. If it is not you do have other options. You can call Childrens Services and tell them what you suspect. This may cause complications with any good relationship you may have with your ex husband. You need to decide if the drug use while he has custody is worth the trouble. (It usually is) If anything this can be a wake up call for him.
