I live in Texas. Posted once before but I guess it got buried, hopefully I can get some advice tonight or soon.
Recently, from a mutual friend, I found out that about 1 month ago there was a drug bust at my ex's house. We do have a son together and while I am grateful that our son was not over for a visit when this happened I guess there were drugs and other drug related materials found and taken. I'm faced with a deliema where, well a lot has happened between my ex and myself. We've come a long way, though its not perfect from our beginning to argue over custody. We get along pretty decently now and our son, I can not deny or would want to truly loves his Dad. I in no way am seeking to limit their time together but at the same time I am concerned about what happens if the cops come back while Lucas is over there visiting. Wouldn't he be taken into CPS custody? I mean I would imagine something like that would be tramatizing.
I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place since I know my ex is good with our son, and I don't think he'd purposely do anything to hurt him, but at the same time he's obviously not making the best decisions within his lifestyle or what party favors he chooses to keep in his home. I don't want our son to suffer because dad isn't able to think beyond the present or consider possible consequences to his actions that could effect Lucas either.. ugg..
Is there any advice on how to handle this, as parents and a legal stand point?
I've tried to talk to dad about it and he isn't saying it's not bad what happened, but he is acting like it's not that big of a deal because our son wasn't there and he seems to think or at least act like the cops couldn't possibly come back even to poke around.
