What Happens If You Refuse A Drug Test That’s Ordered By The Court?

Hey folks, Mark Scroggins with Scroggins Law Group, you know, we get a lot of questions aside from the reclamation transformation podcast. And so these are a number of questions that I’m going to go ahead and answer that I think are timely and need to be answered now. Now, that being said, one thing that’s really important to know is that the answers to these questions does not create an attorney-client relationship between me individually or Scroggins law group collectively, and anybody that is listening to this, this is not specific legal advice. These are just things that you need to go and talk to a lawyer about if you’re facing these questions. So having said that, let’s say that drug testing has been ordered, what happens if you refuse? Well, if you want to cut your own throat in a child custody situation, go ahead and do that. Because it’s idiotic. What that is going to telegraph for a court is that you have the problem that has been alleged, and that’s the reason you are choosing not to participate in the drug testing. That is a court order. Now, if it is just suggested that you undergo drug testing, do you have to do that? No. But can it have the same result? Yes. Okay. So what do we know about this? Go and hire an attorney instead of relying on Google to represent you and take the advice of that attorney, because that attorney is there for one reason and one reason only, and that is to help you. If you are not going to listen to the advice of counsel. You’re throwing good money after that.
