My wife and I live in CA and are going through a divorce.We are also going through a custody battle our our 2 daughters(3&4)I have two prior misdemeanor domestic violence charges.The first one was 4 years ago and the most recent was this past February.Neither incidents were serious hence the reason they were dropped to misdemeanors.I am going to the classes,completed my community service and paid all my fines.I have not gotten into any kind of trouble since.My counselor wrote me an excellent progress report and I am half way to completing my classes.
Today we went to mediation and I mentioned a drug abuse problem my wife has had for at least the past 2 years.She was ordered to submit to a drug test and she did not show up.We have court on the 9th of November and I am extremely worried about the outcome.Do I have agood chance of gaining custody since she automatically tested positive by not showing up?Or will they take them away from both of us?Or do she have a good chance of keeping our kids if she does not have a bad record?I don't mind if she has full custody I only hope they don't take them away from us.Please help!Thank you!
