Tampa, FL asked in Divorce and Family Law for Louisiana

Q: I've been married for eight years. My spouse has been drinking alot. I can't feel comfortable leaving her with our kids.

She's been in and out the hospital for drinking and other problems that go along with that. I just fear for our two kids. However biologically one of them is not mine. I fear for the safety of them and I want them out. I myself want to step away from her as well. I'm just not sure what to do or where to start.
