Katy, TX asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: Enforcement

My child’s father is not allowing me to see my daughter so I will be filing motion to enforce the order. Is he able to order drug & alcohol testing for ME to do at that court date (again, I am the one filing enforcement against him) or would he have to file separately outside of the enforcement court date to get a test done? Another question, is it possible for the judge order a drug & alcohol test even though I’m the one filing the enforcement against him?

A: Yes he can file any motion he wants. Whether the judge grants it is a separate story. You should get a lawyer to have the best chance to quash his request for drug testing if he tried.
