Q: Can my roommates ex wife order me to take a drug test?
My friend is wanting to move in with me but his malicious ex wife says if he does, she can court order me to take a drug test and it would hurt my friend in the courts eyes with his child if I fail.
A: In a way, yes. Anyone who is potentially in a supervisory role of the minor children in question can be vetted. This means that if the children would be under your care, it is within the Courts power to request a drug test before you take on that role. With that said, I believe almost any judge would want some proof of prior drug use before they will court order it. Most likely it would be more of an agreement between parties before the child can have overnights in the home. Boeheim Freeman Law - 918-884-7791
