Q: My ex giving kids beer and pot. Can I keep them with me until we go to court or is it violation? What do I do?!
I have pictures, videos, texts for proof from my daughters phone. He’s threatening me to try and give him the phone. My oldest daughter is petrified to go there as they don’t know how he will react for admitting to me that he provided alcohol and marijuana. I have videos going back to last summer as of now. I also have a text from her friend saying he gave them beer and got high with them.
A: The order of visitation stays in place until it is changed. If you believe your children are in danger, then you can do what needs to be done to protect them. You will have to justify withholding the children to the judge. You should have a consultation with a local lawyer ASAP to discuss the facts and any orders in place.
