Proving drug abuse in court?

Question by GAIL L: Proving drug abuse in court?
I am going through a divorce and can not afford a lawyer, so please do not answer by telling me to get one. I can not afford it.
I recently came across a tape where my son, who was on cocaine, talked about my STBX being reprimanded to drug abuse counseling. They were seeing the same counselor as well as my husband seeing another one and both seeing the same mental health counselor.
My husband was put on Lexapro about 2 years ago. I just read that Lexapro is used to withdraw someone from cocaine. Google Lexapro and cocaine, not just Lexapro.
This is where it gets sticky. The judge sealed his record of conviction on physical abuse of me. The judge came under fire recently for shielding men from prosecution with a cop speaking up so long as his name was not used. The DA deflected the attack with legal double talk. No man has ever been convicted of rape or violence against women in my town that I can find.
How can I prove that my husband has an addiction to drugs without the cooperation of the law? I only have a week to do this in.
Our son is over 18 and lives with other guys. He has been spotted with known drug dealers on Feb.9 of this year.
As I stated, my STBX is on Lexapro and has been for 2 years that I know of. If he was on cocaine, all traces would be gone by now.
Other people here have heard local doctors talking about putting herione in vitamin shots to keep people coming in for more shots (these people would have no reason to fabricate such a thing) so I would not trust anything a doctor says here. I know of several people who have been given prescripts for pain killers for years and for no reason. This is a wealthy community and there are more than one “Dr. Feelgoods” who practice openly. I feel that if it is to be proved, it has to be done through those sealed court records.

The only other place you would find documentation is at the doctor’s office. I don’t think you really need to prove it. Try and have him prove he is not. If he is testing clean then you don’t need to worry about it. However if you are concerned for your safety or the safety of your kids, get a protection from abuse, and the children’s services for monitored visitation.
