A: Proving that a family member with custody of your children is using drugs and ensuring the safety of the children requires a careful approach. Document any evidence of drug use, consult with a family law attorney for guidance, consider involving Child Protective Services (CPS) if there are immediate concerns, request court intervention if necessary, be open to drug testing if ordered by the court, and cooperate with the legal process. The primary goal is to protect the best interests of the children, and each case's outcome depends on various factors, including the evidence presented and the court's assessment.
