How can I prove to the courts that my husband is an alcoholic & should have limited visitation?I am about to file for divorce & NEED to prove my husband is an alcoholic & will put our 3-year-old's safety at risk. I know most judges will rule the alcoholic can't drive the child or have him overnight, but I have no proof that my husband is a drunk!
He drinks at his home & doesn't drive much. He hides vodka in his laptop bag so he can drink at work, but hasn't been caught yet. Strangely enough, he is a brilliant IT director & very respected!
I know for a fact that he drink around the clock because he has physical withdrawals if he goes without alcohol one day. He physically can't avoid alcohol in order to have visitation since he gets violently ill, so I know he'll drink while caring for my son (even if the jugde orders him not to).
Since he has no DUI offenses & hasn't lost jobs due to driking, what else can I do to prove he is an alcoholic & that he will put our son's safety in danger?
BTW, he has driven my son while drunk...I just don't have evidence to show the court.
I've thought of calling the cops when he leaves here drunk, but I doubt they will locate him while he's on the road. They'd have to respond within seconds to catch him driving away.
I've also considered hiring a private investigator to track him & get proof, but doubt I can afford it.
Wow, there are some very angry people attacking me! He wasn't an alcoholic when I met him 10 years ago. The drinking has become a problem the last 2 years.
The reason I am divorcing him is so MY SON won't have to suffer life with his alcoholic father in the home. I also can't stop my husband from driving him while drunk!
How dare anyone say I'm the one who is hurting my child. Divorce is incredibly painful for all of us, but in the end I have to protect my child!

This may sound cruel, but the best thing you can do for him, is call the cops the next time he drinks and drives.

Alright a good way to do something like this is to contact the police when he is drunk, Get a urine test on him and if it's positive file a report, And take that to the court
Good luck on the divorce and really sorry about your husband.

Present witnesses that your husband is an alcoholic. Petition the court to order that a random laboratory test be conducted on the urine and blood of your husband to prove his alcoholism.
