    Default Ex is Smoking Pot with My Kids

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Arizona
    My 13 yearold has just told me that his mother and my 15 and 17 year old daughters smoke pot in the house together. He is here on a visitation and has to fly out next week back to Iowa. Mom has no out of state orders just the orders we have in Arizona. I had custody of them for 5 years and gave the kids back to her 3 years ago because she made it impossible for me to raise my kids. My son says this has been going on for the last 3 years and he is sick of it and wants to come live with me. I don't think I can do an emergency custody because it is just him telling me this. I know he is telling me the truth. She is a flake and moves every 6 months and cannot keep jobs. She is a school teacher!! I noticed she had marijuana related pages on her facebook and took them off just b4 my son came to visit. She has made it virtualy impossible for me to see my son and has completely alienated me from my daughters. I emailed her and told her my son told me about what has been going on and she has ignored me. I told her I was going to call the police and have my lawyer start proceedings against her if she wouldn't let my son stay here with me. I really don't know if I have a case on my 13 year olds word. His mother will say he is lying because he wants to live here with me. he says there is constant fighting omong them and the police came and took the oldest for a mental exam after a fist fight with her sisiter. any thoughts on what i can do and if my son's word will be enough.

    Call the police about what exactly?

    Frankly without proof there is no reason to modify custody at all and your son's word is not proof. How does your son know they're smoking pot? How can he tell the difference? What is his exposure, exactly?

    With that said if your son is present while Mom and more importantly the girls are smoking pot together, he's old enough to call 911 and/or CPS.

    By the way - I don't smoke pot at all, but I am a proponent of medical marijuana laws, and there are links to advocacy sites on some of my social networking sites.

    When you are a 13 year old boy that lives with 3 women that are older and very dominate, it would be very hard to call the cops on them or tell anyone. I am sure he has been told what will happen if he does..mom goes to jail and they would be taken away ect. He has finally had enough and doesn't care anymore. I will be contacting cps and the police when he goes home and his school also. I was just wondering what my chances are with no proof except his word. I am sure she will come out squeaky clean because after all, she is a "teacher" she can do no wrong. Thanks for your opinion. And I myself wish the laws would change regarding marijuana. But, the fact is it is still illegal and I sure as heck would not put myself in a place where I could get my children taken away from me and start my 12 year and 14 year old smoking pot. Ask any crackhead or herion addict what they started on...Why would you feel the need to get your 12 and 14 year old "high" ? It disgusts me. I don't think they medicaly needed it.

    I'm sorry.

    I think you missed the point I was trying to make.

    Your son's word is NOT going to constitute proof, and neither will your suspicions.

    You did not answer my question however - how does your son know the difference between hand-rolled cigarettes, pot, and/or legal herbal smokes?

    He knows it's pot because he sees and hears about it daily, they smoke it to get high. He says Mom started smoking it to help her sleep. They use a bong evidently.It's plain old marijuana to get stoned on...the ILLEGAL kind. He has ears and knows all their friends get high. I knew what marijuana was when I was 13 and knew the smell and was around people that smoked it. BUT my mom and dad sure as heck werent smoking it around me or in my home or offering it to me. trust me, its not any special herb or anything that is legal.

    But what PROOF is there?

    The word of a 13 year old isn't going to trigger a change in custody.
