The smoking in the presence of the child is one of t he things that I have a hard time with. Contact your local chapter of the American Lung Assn, or get the information online about second-hand smoke.
Although I am a smoker, I am the one that had the clause put in my divorce decree that no one will be allowed to smoke in the presence of my daughters, and that should anyone be smoking, it is the responsibility of the parent to remove the children from that atmosphere.
If the mother denies drug use, request that the Court order a hair follicle test. That particular drug test can take a person back 7-10 years on drug use history.
Your main problem is going to be proving your accusations, and explaining why you allowed some of this on your part, to continue.
Don't be at all surprised to have the Judge looking down his/her nose at you, and do not make statements that you don't like it or care for it. Just get your business taken care of so you can take care of your son.
I wish you the best of luck. Not many guys will stand up for their kids like this.
