Example: Hair Drug Test For My Child. Is My Child Being Exposed To Crystal Meth?
Question: You probably hear this all of the time, but I am going through a divorce and trying to work out custody of my precious 3-year-old daughter. My ex has a new live-in boyfriend, and the current custody agreement requires me to drop my daughter off with them all weekend. We live in a small town, so I know this guy and know he has a history of using and selling meth amphetamines and I know they are doing it while my daughter is there. I am the father and feeling like I am being treated a little unfairly in the court’s eyes. I hope that my daughter would test negative on the child exposure drug test, but I need to know and need something to reflect my concerns. Have you used this test in court before?
Answer: If it helps, we deal with this all too often. You need a positive hair drug test but, in the best interest of your child… you also hope it is negative. Either way, you need to know. Take comfort in knowing that we have a test that is basically custom built for your very situation. A basic 5 panel child exposure test will cover your concerns and will not take long to get results. We cannot make any promises about how a judge will look upon your test results if positive, but know that we have dealt with this, for court and custody, many, many times. There is no better tool to address your concerns.
