A Good Case for Sole Custody With Drug Abuse and Violence?

Question by T80: A good case for sole custody with drug abuse and violence?
My wife’s ex has a DUI, drunk on duty charges in the military, a court martial conviction for cocaine use last month, is now being kicked out of the military, tells his son he’s a better person and parent than we are by bringing him into his closet and describing each of his medals on his dress blues to him, tells his son he’s overweight and dumb (even though his son is an athlete and a GATE student), he lives with 4 other adults, one of who is awaiting trial for cocaine possession and distribution. His wife and him also have a mutual restraining order for fighting with their neighbors, where the neighbor’s wife ended up in the hospital. Their neighbors testified against him in his court martial and reported the cocaine dealing initially.

My wife is seeking sole custody, supervised visitation for him until he completes drug treatment, parenting classes, and passes regular drug tests. We live in California.

Best answer:

Answer by Mr. Brightside
I think you have enough ammo there. Get a lawyer to put it all into that legal technical junk and take it to the court. I’m pretty sure the judge will frown on a cocaine using, drunk driving, verbally abusive father.
