Do “Home Drug Test Kits” hold enough evidence in family court?
Question by booboobear: Do “Home Drug Test Kits” hold enough evidence in family court?
I would like to know if anyone has used a home drug test kit on their small child to detect second hand smoke from marijuana? My child is exposed to it weekly by her paternal grandmother during her father’s visitation and no one has been able to help me keep her out of her house because her father has shared legal and physical custody, and lives with his mother. I was told that I need to get proof of my daughters exposure to it through a doctor doing the test and that would be enough to keep her out of there and possibly get full custody back. Do you think this is true? Do those kits really hold up in court? Thanks for the advice.

No, because you cannot prove the ‘evidence chain’ which grants legal proof to evidence. In other words, you cannot prove you did not tamper with the test.
BUT, the test will grant you enough power to get a doctor to run another test, or a legal agency to run a legal test. Check with Child Services (every state has one) and ask them how to handle this situation.

I would advise you to have the test done through your Dr.s office this way they can confirm “on record” that your daughter has come in contact with the substance. Also, that way the Dr. can recommend that the child be removed from the premises were she has come i contact with the drug. Good Luck 🙂
