I have been divorced since 2002. We have been enjoying joint custody since then. My kids, 15 year old twin girls, brought to my attension that the step father smokes pot. I have filed for a change of custody. I have notifed the authorities too. Well the ex got the letter from the court about my request today. I am so worried about my kids right now. BTW my girls want out too. They do not like it at there mothers house. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

It doesn't sound like a good sitch for them to be in.

You may be able to petition the court for a restraining order while custody is being determined. That way the kids wouldn't have to be subjected to that environment while your waiting to settle your case.

Regardless of his alleged illegal activities, the kids are probably at an age now whereas the court will permit them to have a say in whether they want to continue the current parenting schedule with their mother.

Changing up the schedule is also going to affect child support distribution, taxes, etc.
