I have circumstantial evidence that implicates my ex using marijuana. I may want to get my ex tested. How do I go about that? I live in New Jersey.How do you get a custodial parent drug tested?
If any kids are innvolved call Child Protective Services. If not, call the police station at the town she lives in give them all the info you know but keep it anonymous. Then turn around and call the Sheriff's office in her town and tell them the same thing. Between the 2 they should listen. If all else fail, call the D.T.F.(Drug Task Force) in her county. You can get the # from information or the Sheriff's office of the town she is in.
Criminal Justice MajorHow do you get a custodial parent drug tested?
File a complaint to be investigated with child welfare services
The short answer is that you can't have another independent adult tested for anything against their will. If they're arrested for drug influence, the police can and do obtain a blood or urine sample for testing. Aggrieved spouses have a long history of harassing each other, so circumstantial evidence as it exists in your opinion about an ex won't do it. The court won't issue any orders, a lawyer can't cause it to happen, you're best path is to find proof of a crime happening while it's happening (drug use in the presence of the children perhaps). And that will take you or someone coming forward as an eye witness, something more than circumstantial, and in the end....because it's all rooted in domestic animosity...no matter what happens, you won't be satisfied.
You'll have to get a court order to do it - you'd have to file a petition and it can be complicated, you would need an attorney.
Take her to an drug testing centre were they can test her for drugs, it might cost you and also you will have to do a hair sample test as this is as I know the only way of testing for a drug over a long period of time. A simple blood test may not do as the drug will be out of her system in 24 - 48 hours
The first two answers are good, although children's services could only get involved if your ex has custody of the children. Otherwise, he is not posing an imminent risk to the children. A court order is what will get him to test.
