Advice and 411 With Child Custody?

Question by Theresa: Advice and 411 with Child Custody?
Me and my husband are both 26. My husband works and I am a stay at home mom but I get unemployment from my previous job of 7 years. We do not smoke, drink, or do drugs nor have we ever done any of those expect drinking with friends maybe 3 times a year. lol. We provide a clean safe home and our children are very well taken care of. We both have cars and drivers licenses. I have a 5 year old, a 2 year old and a 3 month old. The 2 year old is a boy and he was from a previous marriage of 1 year which ended up in a dissolution. We have a custody agreement of shared parenting. the shared parenting was basically to just agree and get the divorce settled. It was 2009 when our dissolution was granted. He has never had a “home”. he has always lived here and there. I have been very careful as to when and where I will send my son. Theres been times where he hasn’t seen him in months. He has 3 other children to 2 other women. He has never been able to keep a job. hes over 2000 dollars behind in child support with me and im not sure how far behind he is with the other 3 children. He does not have his drivers license due to a DUI that resulted in him wrecking into a car and having no insurance. He has served jail time for that and still has not paid his fee’s. He has a history of drug abuse which I know consists of pot but i have heard from very reliable sources that he has done coke and crack. Recently he has “tried” to change and went to a rehab out of the state. He made everyone believe he was going to change and wasn’t coming back until he was. Well after 2 weeks he is back in town and is demanding to see our son. He is living in a bad neighborhood with a girl that i do not know. I am going to file papers for a “motion to change visitation”. I would like full custody. I no longer want my son to have to deal with that. I want my son to see his father but right now he can’t take care of himself. I live in Ohio. Would the judge, based on the info provided, rule in my favor? I am scared for my sons well being and safety but have been told that if he can pass a drug test that they wont grant it. He says hes been clean for 2 weeks….but i know that it wont last. I need help!

Question by annelise il: Is there a chance that someone who uses prescription drugs will get addicted to them?
I have just watched a tv show wherein the girl character keeps on ingesting pills. I think she’s addicted to them, but my sister says that you can’t get addicted to prescription drugs. Is this true? Or could addiction to prescription drugs really happen?

How to Get My Parents to Pay Attention to Ny Education?

Question by Jordan: How to get my parents to pay attention to ny education?
My mom never wanted to push me too hard, so she never pushed me at all. I was highly self-motivated from a young age, but my sisters weren’t. Neither of then have gotten anywhere in life, one trying to attend school at 23 after years of drug abuse, and the other is a senior with a C average. My parents would never quiz us as kids because they were too ‘tired’. They don’t provide me with the basic supplies to do homework and projects. They’re rarely interested in my grades and when I try to talk to them about it, they say they need a cigarette. I’m applying to Exeter now and I’m doing everything myself. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. How can I make them listen?

How Prevalent Is Drug Abuse Amongst Police Officers?

Question by Curiouser: How prevalent is drug abuse amongst police officers?
I hear about police officers with depression and drug problems (besides the obvious- alcohol).
So how many cops (percentage) are drug abusers and what seems to be their drug of choice?

And I always wondered, where do they get the drugs? From the pile they’ve confiscated from others?
How often are they drug tested?
people, I KNOW alcohol is a drug. I’m asking for one OTHER than the obvious alcohol problem. WHAT OTHER DRUG IS PREVALENT?
