Help with child custody in new jersey please?:
Your best bet would be to get legal counsel to accompany you to court and explain your rights to you. Not knowing why you and your daughters father are not together my advice can only be very generalized. If he refuses to pass a drug screening, then most likely his custody will not go through because when this case presents before a judge and you mention drug activity, the judge may order a drug test. If he fails to comply with the court order there is no way he will get custody. Although I am not personally in the legal field, I have had to deal with custodial battles many times in my line of work and it is never a happy trail. I wish you all the luck.
