Louisville, KY asked in Adoption, Family Law and Cannabis & Marijuana Law for Kentucky

Q: Can I sue my local family courts?

In 2017 my kids were stripped from me and my husband for a drug charge. I had done everything I was able to and all the courts wanted was for me to leave my husband who was having trouble getting clean screens - he was also on a medication that can give false THC positives. He wasn't smoking and the weekly results were NOT what you'd have expected one week dirty 2 clean then 2 dirty them one clean for ex. We kept requesting a hair test via the CPS worker and was told each time the judge had denied it. Eventually after 2 yrs of being put through the ringer the judge requested a hair test on him. We also had a urine test the same day as the hair test. Hair test and Urine were sent to different labs in different states. The urine came back positive and the 3 month hair came back negative. Judge took the urine test over the hair. Now our kids have been adopted by my dad and stepmom because the courts wouldnt accept the hair test. Is there anything we can do to try and fix this now?
